2020 Spring Second-Career Scholarship Program

PROGRAM DEADLINE: May 31, 2020 at 11:59 PM CDT (Midnight) - CLOSED

This program is inactive or past the deadline.

Description

Independent funeral service is a highly-regarded career where the utmost service, care, and business acumen are necessary.  While this profession is traditionally filled by generations of families who own and operate funeral homes, there is a growing number of people choosing to work in funeral service as a second career.  In an effort to offer support and encouragement to this trend, the Selected Educational Trust has established this unique scholarship program specifically for these second-career individuals.
