The Northwest Retiree Association, in partnership with the Northwest Foundation, recently established the Northwest Retiree Leadership Scholarship and is now raising funds to endow the scholarship.
The scholarship will be awarded to a full-time Northwest student serving as an ambassador of Lead Green, a non-credit, co-curricular-based program at the University that is designed to develop leaders who will impact the greater campus community. It was awarded for the first time in Fall 2024. Lead Green students develop knowledge and skills through a multi-tiered program that includes a leadership module, workshops and a mentorship program. Through the leadership program, students cultivate skills to succeed personally and professionally.
Students serving as Lead Green ambassadors may mentor as many as 50 aspiring student leaders during an academic year. As their impacts multiply, positively influencing their peers and student organizations, the University also hopes the program enhances retention and student success.
Donations may be given to the fund in general or to honor any retired Northwest employee.
