Scholarship Program
As one of the many ways in which we we seek to further our mission, the Foundation works in cooperation with WERC®-recognized Regional Relocation Groups to support a scholarship program for high school students and undergraduates.
The Foundation Board of Trustees recognized there is an opportunity to amplify the impact of the scholarship program. We are excited to announce we have created a pathway for students to apply for scholarships in areas where there is not a WERC®-recognized Regional Relocation Group! (Must be a US state or territory at this time).
