SHH Receives 25 Applications for Sophomore Merit Scholarship

Over the course of one month, Students Helping Honduras received 25 applications for the first-annual Sophomore Merit Scholarship Award. Recipients of the scholarship will receive an free 8-day service learning trip to Honduras, allowing them to become stronger global leaders and to contribute meaningfully to SHH through a variety of ways during the year. A personal project of SHH Director of Service Learning, Clare Timmis, the scholarships reflect a growing emphasis within SHH placed on the value of service learning at a young age as well as the need to foster student volunteerism and global leadership. The recipients of this scholarship will be notified within coming days.
