69风流 announces new scholarship opportunity
North Central has also added a new scholarship opportunity: the Joint Endeavor for Women in Education and Leadership, or JEWEL.
The result of a partnership between North Central and the Women鈥檚 Resource Center of Northern Michigan (WRCNM), the JEWEL program is designed to support students by providing improved access to resources that address barriers disproportionately faced by women. In addition to being matched with a mentor to encourage their professional and personal development, JEWEL participants will receive a $1,000 scholarship split between the fall and winter semesters. The scholarship is renewable for up to two years.
The JEWEL program is funded by a generous gift from John Holder and Julie Fasone Holder, businesswoman and advocate for women in the workplace.
鈥淛EWEL is an excellent example of what鈥檚 possible when community organizations join together to leverage their impact,鈥� Platte said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 an honor to work alongside the WRCNM team to realize Julie and John鈥檚 vision of a network of supporters helping students achieve their educational and professional goals.鈥�
The JEWEL scholarship is open to 10 current or returning students with financial need and a high school diploma or GED. The program will expand to include an additional cohort of 10 students each subsequent year. Qualifying students will participate in a success program designed to improve academic outcomes by providing supportive services and consistent opportunities to meet with their mentor.
Applications for the JEWEL Scholarship are due April 15, and completion of the FAFSA is required. For more information or to apply, visit .
