As part of its commitment to the Washington, DC community, Thursday
Network developed a scholarship program to help high school students
pursue a college education. Since 1992, the Thursday Network I EMPOWER
Scholarship Fund has awarded close to $150,000 in college assistance to
high school seniors in Washington, DC, Montgomery County, MD, and Prince
Georges County, MD. Students use the award to fund their freshman year
at any accredited 4-year college or university in the United States.

For the 2012-2013 school year, Thursday Network will award a $2,000
