🎉Exciting News🎉 The Uplift and Empower scholarship application is now LIVE!

📝 Graduating seniors from Marion County Public Schools can apply via the PEFMC application portal: https://grantsforideas.pefmc.org/

🗓️The deadline for applications is April 4th.

🎓When deciding on the winners, the selection committee looks for students who showcase their commitment to improving the Ocala community through extracurricular activities, volunteering, or work experience.

📚 Over the years, past scholars have collectively dedicated thousands of hours to community service while working part-time jobs and maintaining top grades. Now, thanks to the generosity of the Uplift and Empower community, the fund can support even more young leaders by awarding six (6) $500 scholarships, along with one year of career-specific mentorship support.

📣 Please spread the word about the application to Marion County seniors!

Onward and upward!
