The Mon Valley Initiative Promise Awards
The Foundation established the Mon Valley Initiative Promise Awards in 2023 to support students in the Mon Valley achieve their educational goals.
The Awards target aspiring students with average grades who have been accepted to continue their education at colleges, universities, trade schools, and community colleges. Criteria for selection includes a letter from a school counselor who describes the student as a worthwhile recipient of the award.
I recognize there are many deserving students, and I am particularly grateful to have been selected as an awardee of the Mon Valley Initiative Promise. Now in my second year of nursing I am required to buy scrubs for clinical rounds and textbooks. Without this help, I simply did not have the money needed for these expenses.”
