About the Program

Applicants

Applicants will be considered based on demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities and/or work experience, a statement of career and educational goals and objectives, and an unusual personal or family circumstance.

Scholarships

Scholarships ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 will be granted. Recipients attending a two-year or vocational-technical school in the upcoming academic year will be awarded $5,000. Recipients attending a four-year school the upcoming academic year will be awarded $10,000.

Awards

Awards are renewable* for up to three years or until a degree or certificate is earned, whichever occurs first, on the basis of satisfactory academic performance and full-time enrollment.


How It Works

A portion of each LaborIQ® subscription is set aside for the Every Why Realized scholarship fund. As it grows, more students receive support for their educational goals. We plan to increase each year's scholarship award allocations by fifty percent, and will add scholarship recipients’ stories as they ignite their futures!

*Scholarship award recipients can reapply each year for a renewable award. Criteria and award amounts are subject to change.
