Work Ethic Scholarships | mikeroweWORKS Foundation

We work smart and hard.

Skilled workers make civilized life possible!

That’s why we created the Work Ethic Scholarship Program.

Each year, we look for the next generation of aspiring workers who will work smart and hard. The Work Ethic Scholarship Program doesn’t focus on test scores, grades, or grammar. It’s about the people who share our values and understand the importance of work ethic, personal responsibility, delayed gratification, and a positive attitude.

The 2019 Work Ethic Scholarship Program has already closed, but you can click on the link below to view the full list of 2019 Work Ethic Scholarship Recipients!

There'll be hoops to jump through. The short version is, you'll have to:

Answer 3 questions.
Write an essay.
Send at least 2 references from bosses/teachers.
Make a short video.

Fair warning: the Work Ethic Scholarship Program is not for everyone. But if you’re someone who shows up early, stays late, and busts your ass day in and day out, get ready to apply next time.
