The LINK Scholarship Newsroom - Profile and News Archive
Founded in October 2018, The LINK Scholarship's mission is to link students with disabilities to community resources for students to focus on their strengths, abilities, and feel successful while contributing to their community. The LINK Scholarship is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization.
We are excited to select our first ever LINK Scholar on June 1, 2019. Students must perform a certain amount of volunteer hours, have a disability, and apply online to participate in the interview process to have the chance to win the scholarship funds.
This a great way for students to show their abilities and how they can use their strengths to contribute to our community. Volunteering is linked to quantitative and qualitative research that shows volunteering promotes a positive mental health and self-esteem. It provides a sense of purpose and leads to many networking opportunities for students and adults. Together, we can create a ripple effect of positive changes within our community.
