Mike Rowe Scholarship
Mike Rowe spends a significant amount of time discussing how the nation’s connection with jobs is shattered. Additionally, he highlights the widening skills gap and refutes the widely held belief that a four-year degree is the best choice for the majority of people. The Mike Rowe Foundation argues that Skill & Work Ethic Aren’t Taboo (S.W.E.A.T.). The Foundation offers financial aid through its scholarship programs, which include the Work Ethnic Scholarship Program, to qualifying individuals who wish to acquire a skill that is in demand.
This scholarship is intended for freshmen, undergraduates, and graduate students in the United States. It is only available for citizens of the U.S.
