Higher One CARES, the community outreach group of Higher One, awarded $2,500 scholarships to 20 college students, winners of the company’s “One Scholarship” competition.
The competition invited undergraduate and graduate students to submit an online video describing how they have overcome obstacles to achieve educational goals and live Higher One’s philosophy of “There is a way.” Names of the winners and their winning videos can be viewed online here.
CARES, which stands for Community Action for Resources Education and Service, was formed by employees at Higher One to help identify opportunities for community involvement and engagement. It supports a variety of not-for-profits and its primary mission is to help build communities based on education, financial literacy and entrepreneurship.
