BEAVERTON, Ore., March 20, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Creative Safety Supply, Oregon's premier retailer of safety and lean manufacturing products for the workplace, is pleased to announce its winner of the Spring 2019 Scholarship Competition, and that the Fall 2019 Scholarship Competition is open for submissions. The scholarship program awards a $1,000 scholarship to a student with a good academic record who is enrolled in a university, college or technical program in the United States twice a year: once in the fall and once in the spring. The scholarship funds are sent to the student's school so they can be used for educational expenses during 2019.
Over the past ten years, Creative Safety Supply has earned its reputation as a leader in the safety and efficiency industry by providing top-notch visual communication and other safety-related products and useful, free resources on Lean manufacturing concepts like Kaizen and Kanban. A few years ago, after noticing a concerning rise in the cost of higher education, the founding partners of CSS decided to give back to the world by founding this scholarship competition.
Each semester, students from around the nation send in essays that inspire and move the judges. This time, with an application pool of hundreds of formidable scholars, the winner is Raimy Kalife-Hamdan of Portland, OR. In her winning scholarship essay, Kaife-Hamdan proved that her education will propel her to go out and change her world for the better. Students like her—and the flood of other inspirational candidates who applied—provide a comfort to the judges by showing the world will be in good hands with this generation of students.
To be eligible for Creative Safety Supply's fall scholarship, students must be U.S. citizens, be enrolled in an accredited institution of higher education and have a GPA of 3.0 or higher. As part of their applications, students must also answer two short essay questions, including a question about how creative thinking has helped them achieve academic or personal success. Creative Safety Supply believes in the importance of using creative thinking to solve workplace safety challenges and wants to foster this type of thinking and learning in the next generation of students.
Potential applicants can see a full list of requirements, including essay questions, at the Creative Safety Supply website: https://www.creativesafetysupply.com/scholarship/.
The scholarship deadline for this year is July 15, 2019. The winner will be notified by the end of August 2019.
Creative Safety Supply plans to host the scholarship competition annually.
