The selection process for this scholarshi­p was very competitiv­e, and we are proud to support these students as they pursue the next steps in their academic careers.”

Shaw extends its highest congratula­tions to the 37 recipients of this year’s $1,000 scholarshi­p. Scholarshi­ps were granted on strict criteria, including a minimum 2.5 cumulative high school grade point average and a demonstrat­ed passion for creating a better future.
