ELN Micro-Scholarships
In 2011, ELN started fundraising for its first scholarships. ELN looks for students who have never received a scholarship before, are the first in their families to attend college, are working part-time, are involved in their communities, and are committed to completing their education. ELN's micro-scholarships are a 'vote of confidence,' and can be added to a student's 'roster' of awards and recognitions, which in turn is so important to other scholarship applications, transfer applications, and eventually employment.
Today, ELN works to combine the power of micro-scholarships, professional networks, and mentorship to connect, empower, and develop community college students and alumni in the social science and business fields.
