PAY IT FORWARD SCHOLARSHIP
HOW IT WORKS
RECEIVE IT
The student will receive $5,000.00 through the Pay It Forward Scholarship to cover for any additional cost that is not being covered with the scholarships or financial aid they have received so far.
PAY IT
The student is then expected to pay 50% of the scholarship back in a period of 5 years, which means they will pay First Serve $500 for 5 years once they are settled in a stable job.
USE IT
The money that the student pays back will be used to provide another Pay It Forward Scholarship to current First Serve mentors. From there, the cycle continues!
