Runwayz Foundation Set to Launch: Empowering Students with Career Starter Scholarships

Building on the momentum of its recent platform launch, Runwayz is proud to announce the upcoming launch of the Runwayz Foundation, an integral part of its commitment to transforming the career landscape for high school students. Slated for launch during fall 2024, the Foundation aims to democratize access to career opportunities through scholarships, specifically targeting students pursuing non-college pathways.

"As part of our mission to connect 1million students with fulfilling careers that do not require four-year degrees, the Runwayz Foundation is a natural next step," explains David Proulx, CEO of Runwayz. "We recognize that cost can be a barrier for many students wishing to enter trade and technical fields. Our scholarships are designed to remove these financial hurdles and open doors to promising careers."

The Runwayz Foundation will offer scholarships to students across the United States, focusing on industries that are critical to the nation’s economy but often overlooked by traditional education funding. Each scholarship aims not only to cover educational costs but also to provide stipends for apprenticeships and on-the-job training, ensuring students gain real-world experience alongside theoretical learning.

The initiative is supported by partnerships with key industry players and educational institutions that share Runwayz vision for a skilled, ready-to-work youth populace. "By investing in our students, we are investing in the future of our workforce," says Mr.Proulx. "These young individuals will become the driving force of our economy, and it’s essential we provide them with all the tools they need to succeed."

For those interested in applying for a scholarship, contributing to the fund, or learning more about the Foundation’s impact, detailed information will be available on the Runwayz website following the launch.

With this new chapter, Runwayz continues to underscore its dedication to practical education solutions that foster independence, economic growth, and social mobility. Stay tuned for more updates as the Runwayz Foundation prepares to make a lasting difference in the lives of countless students across the country.
