Grassroot Heroics Scholarship
The hero’s journey describes a universal arc of personal growth through the experience of facing significant obstacles, daunting setbacks, and uncertain outcomes.
In facing our personal challenges, we can discover individual greatness that lies within each of us. A career, much like life, should not be limited to a single pathway. Being on your own hero’s journey requires adaptability and openness to change in your professional pursuits.
This scholarship aims to empower students to pursue diverse career paths and embrace the uncertainty of an unwritten future and the potential of great opportunity.
