Each year, we look for the next generation of aspiring workers who will work smart and hard. The Work Ethic Scholarship Program doesn’t focus on test scores, grades, or grammar. It’s about the people who share our values and understand the importance of work ethic, personal responsibility, delayed gratification, and a positive attitude.

There are some hoops to jump through. The short version is, you’ll have to:

  • Enroll in an approved program.
  • Sign The S.W.E.A.T. Pledge.
  • Answer 3 questions.
  • Write an essay.
  • Send at least 2 references from bosses/teachers.
  • Make a short video.
  • Verify school costs.
  • Provide high school/college transcript.
  • Submit financial info.

Fair warning: the Work Ethic Scholarship Program is not for everyone. But if you’re someone who shows up early, stays late, and busts your ass day in and day out, get ready to apply next time.
