Worthy Women’s Scholarship
While our business aim at Worthy is to help people sell their diamonds, fine jewelry, and watches, we extend this idea further when we touch the lives of hardworking women looking to advance their career opportunities through our yearly scholarship.
Over the past eight years, Worthy has had the privilege of helping 24 outstanding women through our scholarship program. The goal of the Worthy Women’s Scholarship is to assist women who have decided to enroll in school to pursue their passions and open up more doors for themselves and others. This year is no different, as we hope to be able to help another 3 worthy women make their dreams of returning to school a reality. To apply, please review the requirements and writing instructions below.
