Keep Victoria Beautiful Creates Scholarships for Students
Keep Victoria Beautiful has just done something incredible. They have just introduced a new scholarship program that will benefit the next generation of environmental stewards.
There will be up to 5 scholarships available.
Up to five $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to high school seniors or college, university, or trade school students who have volunteered with Keep Victoria Beautiful! Keep Victoria Beautiful sponsors will fund the scholarships, which may be used to pursue education in any field of study at a college, university, or trade school. KVB Executive Director Meridith Byrd shared why this matters.
“An important part of Keep Victoria Beautiful’s mission is engaging our youth and encouraging the next generation to take pride in their community.”
