Fluor Foundation Job Corps Scholarship Program

The Fluor Foundation's Job Corps Scholarship was established in 2003 and is awarded on a yearly basis.  The $5,000 renewable scholarships are available to select students who attend any of the DEL-JEN operated Job Corps Centers:

·  Albuquerque Job Corps Center, NM

·  Kittrell Job Corps Center, NC

·  Mississippi Job Corps Center, MS

The scholarships are offered each year for full-time study at an accredited institution of the student’s choice.

"The Fluor Foundation is pleased to assist the Job Corps and these students in achieving their higher education goals,” said J. Robert Fluor, vice president of Fluor's Global Public Affairs. “Supporting this scholarship program is one more way that Fluor invests in student achievement  and partners with education.”
