BRLWIA Customer Receives Education at Work Scholarship

The BRLWIA is proud to announce that one of our customers, James Peterson of Franklin, was awarded $1,000 for the Education at Work Scholarship.  About 200 Kentuckians applied for the eighth annual scholarship competition, and only 30 were chosen.  The scholarship recipients qualified by using one of the services of the Education Cabinet’s Department for Workforce Investment or Kentucky Adult Education in the Council on Postsecondary Education such as vocational rehabilitation, adult learning centers, GED preparation, secondary Kentucky Tech school, unemployment insurance, job placement, dislocated worker or Workforce Investment Act assistance.  All applicants were required to write an essay on Kentucky’s new “Unbridled Spirit” brand and how it relates to their educational and career goals.  The $1,000 may be used for tuition, books and lab and technology fees at a Kentucky postsecondary institute of their choice.
