Scholarships and Grants by J. Wesley Beeks

“Education is not a privilege but a necessity”-WB

Education is a vital tool to increase prospects in the job market and is not an impossible goal. Many academic institutions are offering opportunities at substantially reduced cost in lieu of outreaching to disenfranchised populations. As with most things in life we must put one foot forward and take the step.
