Seven recipients to recieve Cadre II scholarship

By Trinity Education Foundation | Press Release

Everett, WA – April 30, 2020 – Through its Trinity Scholars Program, Trinity Education Foundation is again honored to sponsor the Act Six/Saint Martin’s University Scholarship. This four-year, full-ride scholarship is awarded to deserving students from underserved communities who excel in school, community service, demonstrate a drive to succeed in life, and are ready to give back to their community.

This year, seven students have been chosen from hundreds of applications submitted for the annual scholarship. What makes this scholarship unique is the students attend school as a Cadre – working together to support each other throughout their undergraduate journey with an emphasis on leadership and service.

In addition to receiving a full-ride for four years, Trinity Education Foundation will provide professional coaching and vocational guidance throughout their undergraduate journey. Working in conjunction with Act Six and St. Martin’s University (SMU), the Foundation will provide both practical and spiritual direction to support each student in the development of their true gifts, calling, and life purpose.

These seven exemplary scholars will begin their studies at SMU in the fall. Last year’s initial cadre of seven students is currently finishing up their freshman year at the university.
