"Launching a new career starts with building new skills," says Lincoln's President Scott Shaw.  "Skills give candidates an advantage in applying for new positions.  This scholarship puts that advantage within reach for many students who may have thought higher education was something they could not afford."

Lincoln awarded more than $10 million in scholarships last year to deserving students who are ready to take the next step along their chosen career paths.

"Our graduates are launching new careers every day around the country in Automotive Technology, Health Sciences, Business and Information Technology, Skilled Trades, and Hospitality Services," Shaw says.  "Employers come to Lincoln for skilled, experienced employees.  We recognize that the cost of higher education can be substantial, and we believe that the 2014 Advantage Scholarship, along with the many other opportunities Lincoln has made available, demonstrates our commitment to helping students manage that cost."
