Uplift Families CHECK YOUR EMAIL! Learn & Earn Scholarship credits for the 2024–25 school year have been calculated! If your scholar earned credits, you have received a personalized link via email. The Learn & Earn Scholarship Program provides scholars the opportunity to earn up to $3,100 toward college or career pathways after graduation. Starting in 5th grade, scholars begin to earn "scholarship credits" for completing certain activities and achieving specific goals. Scholars who graduate from Uplift Education in 12th grade receive a check for their earned scholarship credits after graduation. Learn & Earn is one of the many ways Uplift Education is supporting our scholars beyond the classroom. Learn more about the Learn & Earn Scholarship program at https://uplifteducation.org/learn-and-earn/. Note: Notifications were sent to the primary contact on your scholar’s record. Should you feel this information is incorrect, please contact your campus to update your scholar’s information. #UpliftEducation #LearnAndEarn #CollegeReady
