IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0ADULT LEARNERS WHO HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED BASIC STUDIES IN AN ABE PROGRAM AND ARE PURSUING COLLEGE OR TECHNICAL EDUCATION ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A FIRST LITERACY SCHOLARSHIP. RECIPIENTS ARE AWARDED SCHOLARSHIPS IN RECOGNITION OF THEIR EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS AND POTENTIAL, THEIR COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY SERVICE, AND THEIR RESILIENCY AND PERSEVERANCE IN THE FACE OF HARDSHIP.TO SUSTAIN THIS ONGOING LEARNING COMMUNITY, WE HOST SCHOLAR NETWORKING EVENINGS, INVITE SCHOLARS TO ALL FIRST LITERACY EVENTS, ASK INTERESTED SCHOLARS TO SPEAK AT EVENTS, AND FIRST LITERACY REPRESENTATIVES ATTEND ALL COMMUNITY AND EDUCATIONAL EVENTS WHERE OUR SCHOLARS ARE HONORED. WE ALSO LOOK FOR WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN MORE DEEPLY INVOLVE THE SCHOLARS WITH THE BROADER COMMUNITY AND CULTURAL LIFE OF OUR CITY.
