Lime Connect has launched Pathways Scholarship for current high school seniors who are pursuing a degree at a four-year university or college in either the U.S. or Canada. 

“Access to higher education can be a game-changer for young people who happen to have disabilities, and we’re proud to recognize the achievements of our outstanding Pathways Scholars with these awards.” said Tom Wilson, Lime Connect global board chair, said,

Recipients of the Lime Connect Pathways Scholarship each receive $1,000 in support of their university/college studies. The awards are merit-based, but financial need will be taken into consideration. 

The Pathways Scholarship is funded through proceeds from the annual Lime Connect Century Ride.

2020 scholarship applications are open, and are due by Monday, May 25, 2020.

Applicants will apply online via The Lime Network and provide general background information, a resume/CV, and answer to one essay question related to living successfully with a disability. Those applicants who are selected as finalists will submit letters of reference. For more information, go to www.limeconnect.com
