PVE Scholarship Committee Awards Six Grants
The Scholarship Committee offers limited financial assistance with scholarship grants to selected PVE employees seeking certificates of completion, credentials or degrees. Since 2004, we have awarded 121 scholarships totaling about $169,000. Grants are made in the spring and fall each year.
PVE is fortunate to have a wonderful group of employees who demonstrate a great work ethic and make our lives so much easier. One way we can show our gratitude is by making tax-deductible donations to the scholarship fund (the sole source of funding).
For this term, we awarded six scholarships to employees:
Brianna Cudmore has been at PVE for almost seven years working in Marketing and Dining. She holds a BA degree and is working toward a master’s degree in psychology.
