Generation OM

The goal of the Generation OM Fellowship is to both support the educational aspirations of Hindu American youth and uphold the value of service to community and society. Just as leaders in our community have come together to support our youth, we hope to reward youth who live the values of service and encourage them to continue to give back as they graduate high school and move to the next stage in their lives. Students must live in Seminole, Orange, or Osceola counties; and identify as Hindu. Once selected, a student may continue to receive Generation OM scholarships during their duration of study at Seminole State College. To maintain eligibility, students must maintain a 3.0 or higher GPA, perform 40 hours of approved volunteer service, submit one article for possible inclusion in the Generation OM newsletter, and attend the annual Fellowship Banquet.
