INTRODUCTION
The Association for Inclusion, Respect, and Equity (AIRE) understands the obstacles and discriminations underrepresented youth face in both their communities and education systems. As advocates and supporters of diverse and equitable opportunity, we have created a scholarship in the Central Susquehanna Valley.
SPECIFICS
There are two $1000 scholarships available.
COMMUNITY ACTIVIST SCHOLARSHIP
As our society and our workplaces become increasingly diverse, organizations are focusing more effort on creating work environments that recognize the value and the importance DEI has to the "bottom line".
