SUMMARY:Black Employee Network Scholarship DEADLINE
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to share that BEN has launched a $20k scholarship for students of Black or African descent! \nAccess to receive a higher education provides an individual with the tools\, knowledge\, and strategies to improve their lives and impact their community.

Recipients of the scholarship will receive $5\,000 per year\, for four years\, towards college tuition\, plus a connection to industry mentors within BEN. Details to sign-up to be a mentor will be shared soon. \nApplications are now open until 1 pm on March 4\, 2021.
