Andre Harris, a student at Mt. San Jacinto College in California, has received the Chime Workforce Scholarship of $1,000 from the Phi Theta Kappa Foundation.
The Chime Workforce Scholarship recognizes high-achieving college students who are pursuing career and technical educational opportunities. This scholarship helps defray educational expenses while the student is enrolled in a certificate or associate degree workforce development program at a two-year college.
“At the Chime Scholars Foundation, we believe that career and technical education opens doors to financial progress and long-term opportunity. We’re proud to support students who are working hard to gain in-demand skills and build better futures for themselves and their families,” said Jeni Izuel, president of the Chime Scholars Foundation.
Harris is one of 200 students to receive the Chime Workforce Scholarships.
“We are thrilled to launch this new program and award hardworking students with Chime Workforce Scholarships,” Amanda Karpinski Gorman, interim director of the Phi Theta Kappa Foundation, said. “These scholarships support students pursuing career and technical education at two-year colleges, and we look forward to see all they go on to accomplish.”
The scholarship provided by Chime will help students cover the costs of tuition, fees, and other educational expenses associated with completing their degree or certificate program.
