“Often these students have not taken a traditional path to higher education, because of personal challenges or
economic conditions, and end up pursing their dream of attending college at a much later stage in life.”
Thanks to support from World Wide Technology, P.O.W. will award four non-traditional female undergraduate students with a $5,000 scholarship and laptop.
Jasmine Huda of KMOV will serve as the Mistress of Ceremony and DJ Twinny Twin will provide the morning entertainment.
