United Scholarships, Inc. is proud to announce our new scholarship opportunity: the Alumni Tuition Reimbursement Scholarship. This program is designed to help Yreka High School alumni who have put forth the hard work and effort of furthering their education through part-time programs.
We recognize that in many alumni with full time jobs and families can hardly attend school full time due to other responsibilities. More so, the popularity of online and professional programs for working adults has increased greatly. USI asked themselves, “Don’t these hard working alumni deserve scholarship opportunities as well?”
Of course they do!
We are proud to offer the Alumni Tuition Reimbursement Scholarship (ATRS) without the caveat of full-time attendance. While the ATRS requires the student to invest in themselves upfront, USI is happy to offer incentive and support upon completion of units, with a maximum award amount of $2,000!
