CAMDEN, N.J., August 28, 2024 (Newswire.com) - The Michaels Organization Educational Foundation announced today that its scholarship application process for its Student Living Scholarship program for the 2024-2025 academic year is now open. The program is specifically designed for students who reside in on- or off-campus student living communities that are owned or managed by The Michaels Organization. Undergraduate, graduate, and doctorate students are eligible to apply.

Applications for the Michaels Student Living Scholarship Program are available now on Michaels’ website. The application process will remain open until October 15, 2024. All applicants will be notified of the outcome status of their application by November 22, 2024. 

“Supporting our residents through their academic journeys is a great honor,” said Mark Morgan, CEO of The Michaels Organization. “Michaels is committed to giving back to our residents, not only through the beautiful living-learning environments that our student communities create but also by ensuring they have the resources they need to thrive in every aspect of their lives.”

The Michaels Student Living Scholarship Program, now in its ninth year, is offered through The Michaels Organization Educational Foundation, a non-profit affiliate of The Michaels Organization, established to administer scholarships to Michaels residents. Since its inception in 1991, the Foundation has awarded more than $16 million in scholarships to scholars residing at Michaels-owned and managed communities.
