Compass Mortgage awards $30,000 in scholarships
Compass Mortgage concluded their fourth annual "Grands for Grads Scholarship" program and awarded six students $5,000 to use towards their education.
This year, over 1,000 students from across the country applied for the scholarship, making it the most competitive year yet.
Despite the difficult economic situation brought on by COVID-19, Compass remained committed to giving away the scholarships to these very deserving students.
One of the unique aspects of the scholarship application is the essay question, "How do you embody Compass' core values of integrity, excellence, and infinite worth?"
This specific question is intended to highlight the core values that are foundational to the mission of Compass, and it's important to the Compass team to see how the applicants apply these values to their lives.
The essays this year blew away the selection committee.
From giving back to the community through service projects, to starting a nonprofit, to providing healthcare assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic, these students truly live out Compass' core values.
Compass Mortgage is very proud to be able to support these students' education and is looking forward to seeing how they thrive in the future. Take a look at the highlight video, and join Compass in congratulating the winners of the Grands for Grads 2020 scholarship!
Congratulations to CeCe C, Chloe V, Ellie G, Eric C, Julian P, and Grace S!
