Nickel & Nail Scholarship
"The story goes that a young man, walking down a long, unpaved, dusty road to visit a friend, had nothing but a nickel in his pocket. Feeling down on his luck, he noticed two gnarled horseshoe nails lying by the side of the road. He picked them up and put them in his pocket. As he jingled these objects together with his meager fortune, he walked a little bit taller, with a little more pride and dignity."
EOP&S works to enhance self-esteem, foster pride and dignity, and motivate those whom the program serves, enabling them to more effectively define and pursue career goals. It is important that they too have “something to jingle”.
The Nickel & Nail awards were created this year to recognize EOP&S students for their hard work, their positive attitude, and their growth throughout their time in our program.
