Amend the City of Commerce Scholarship Program’s requirement for in-person interviews
Join us in advocating for the reform of scholarship interview processes to embrace online interviews! Every year, countless talented students miss out on life-changing scholarships due to financial constraints that prevent them from attending in-person interviews. It's time to level the playing field and ensure that all deserving students have an equal opportunity to shine. By incorporating online interviews, we can eliminate the financial burdens and geographical limitations, opening doors for a diverse range of applicants. Let's come together and make scholarship accessibility a reality for all. Sign our petition, spread the word, and let's reform the system for a fairer future!
Why is this important?
It is crucial that we push for the reform of scholarship interview processes to include online interviews, as it holds the key to a more inclusive and equitable system. Financial barriers should never hinder a student's chance to showcase their talents and pursue their dreams. By embracing virtual interviews, we can eliminate the burden of travel expenses and accommodation costs, enabling students from all walks of life to participate without sacrificing their financial stability. Additionally, remote interviews break down geographical barriers, allowing students from remote areas or underrepresented communities to compete on an equal footing with their peers. By championing this reform, we can create a fairer and more accessible scholarship selection process that empowers and uplifts talented individuals, regardless of their economic circumstances. Together, let's ensure that every deserving student has a genuine shot at securing the opportunities they deserve.
