Scholarship Application

The Hope Services Scholarship fund was established to assist those who are unable to pay for the courses offered at the Vocational Training Center. This fund is made possible through the support of our generous supporters, our sponsors and our fundraising efforts. This is a needs-based scholarship and is intended to be used to assist those in our community who have the desire to begin or improve their careers.
