Description
The John Young “Pursue Your Passion” Scholarship is a privately funded Honor Society award made possible by the Cochener family. It supports high-achieving students who want to create a professional impact in their field of interest. Applications focus on the connection between a student’s chosen career or major and the experiences, beliefs, and goals that motivate that direction. Applicants explain what professional passion means to them, how they have demonstrated it, and the difference they hope to make.
The Cochener family established the scholarship in honor of John Young, whose professional life inspired their commitment to helping students pursue their dreams. Honor Society and its designated scholarship review committee administer the award independently. The scholarship does not require a particular major.
