Forklift Systems 'Giving Students A Lift Scholarship'
Forklift Systems wants to lift up a worthy undergraduate student. We are happy to announce the Forklift Systems ‘Giving Students A Lift Scholarship’. A $1,000.00 award will be provided to a deserving undergraduate student.
College can be something different for each student. When it comes down to it, college is about exploring your world to find out who you are and what you are passionate about in this life. Take that inspiration and write a 500 to 1,000-word essay on what field of study you are pursuing and what excites you about the subject. The scholarship award is a way for Forklift Systems to help one promising student on his or her journey through higher education. We hope to see many students participate.
