2021 Student Scholarship Contest
2020 was a year unlike any other and many experienced virtual, erratic learning for the first time. What kept you motivated to do your best in school, and how has this uniquely prepared you for the future?
The world changed in 2020. Due to COVID-19, social distancing and stay-at-home orders became the new normal everywhere. Students had to adjust to virtual learning – something most have never had to do before. For many, the changing reality of this pandemic may have caused focusing on classes and future careers extremely difficult. For our 2021 scholarship awards, we want to hear what kept you motivated no matter your learning situation, and what unique lessons you’re taking with you.
