PA ProStart Support Grant- Application due 10/30/20. Please take advantage of this opportunity. All schools are eligible. The application should take a few minutes to put together and send in for my review. I know you are busy but these funds are designated for PA ProStart schools and could be helpful to your programs during a year when fundraising will be severely limited.
PRLA Student Membership - PRLA is offering free membership to your students this year. It is a great way to keep them connected with the industry and could provide you with some follow lessons for when the students are remote.
Forward this form to your students so they can opt-in. It's a great way for them to make connections and build relations in the industry. We don't share our email list with anyone.
