Students apply via a regional relocation council, in this case, MERC. One student will be selected for the regional scholarship and that student is entered into the WERC Foundation for Workforce Mobility scholarship pool. Learn more at MERC Scholarship Resource Page | Students from underserved and disenfranchised communities often lack the access to internships which are critical in building skills and creating networks.
