“It’s been a rough year and a half-for so many of our internal colleagues, consultants and clients so providing these scholarships to their dependents is just a small, yet impactful, thing we can do for them,” said Joe Myers, CEO of The Intersect Group. “Everyone has sacrificed during the pandemic, and helping these students achieve their goals is an honor we especially looked forward to this year as it reminded us that helping others pursue important dreams gives us all hope for the future.”
A third-party committee selected the scholarship recipients based on their academic achievement, the quality and content of a written essay, as well as the student’s character as evidenced by volunteerism and other activities.
