It was a great review of the Promise Scholarship requirements. It was also really nice to see the program advisors again, which made me feel more connected and present in the scholarship after being away from it for a while.

The Strive 360 workshop emphasized working smart to earn success—aiming for strong results like a 3.5 or above GPA for scholarships by tackling hard tasks first, avoiding unnecessary difficulty, and staying engaged. It highlighted the importance of self-belief, discipline, effort, and managing energy through healthy habits. Building relationships with teachers, networking, and maintaining balance were framed as key factors that compound long-term accomplishments.

A great review for the Promise scholarship program. I liked the Kahoot game which kept me engaged and helped with memory retention.

A nice closing event for the Special Scholarships Program that went over the requirements while helping students plan for the future. Overall, it was great! I’d just prefer a Kahoot quiz at the end since it’s more fun and interactive than a Zoom quiz.

The Special Scholarships Program Refresh session that clarified the program requirements and responsibilities through an interactive zoom session. The game was a great idea to keep students engaged and make the information last.
