BOOKER T. WASHINGTON SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS
The Booker T. Washington Scholarship Awards are part of the grassroots "learn-to-earn" movement.
This Scholarship Award aims to empower young adults with key principles of life stewardship that will make them more impactful citizens - as citizens of heaven and citizens of their nation.
Named after Booker T. Washington, who rose through difficult circumstance to model stewardship in all of its dimensions, these scholarship awards are offered by individual sponsors to students who complete the courses and activities summarized below. The sponsor is able to use this scholarship platform as a way to "unlock" funding relating to education expenses and cross-cultural learning opportunities for students who complete the learning requirements. Free Think University will send a certificate of completion to the student once the requirements are met, so the Award can be referenced on applications and resumes.
