The City That Works Scholarship

This scholarship will award one student $1,000 who shares the best response to why their current job or future career path is important to them, as well as how they believe it helps improve the lives of others. Our goal with this prompt is to get students thinking about how their career not only benefits them, but also how it benefits their community. As the city that works, our workforce consists of many individuals who together make our city what it is. By offering this scholarship, we hope to help one student be one step closer to funding their education to become a valuable part of their city’s workforce.
