Portal @ Connect Workshop offerings for Spring 2025!

Hello Connect students,

 

I hope this email finds you all well! We are excited to share details about the relaunch of Portal @ Connect workshops for Spring 2025.

 

Last year, we surveyed and spoke directly with you and received wonderful feedback on what experiences they find valuable and how we can continually improve the program.

 

What’s New? This semester, we are offering four standalone workshops that juniors and seniors may opt into based on their capacity and availability. Students will express interest in each individual event and we will follow up with students to confirm their attendance.

 

How do you sign up? Fill out this interest form and we will follow up with you. We encourage you to share this opportunity with your friends and classmates at Connect as well!

 

Please feel free to reply all with any questions you may have.

Attention Seniors! Class of 2025 Earl Woods Scholarship open!

Hello Class of 2025!

TGR Foundation is excited to extend the opportunity and invite your high school seniors to apply for the 2025-2026 Earl Woods scholarship.

The Earl Woods Scholar Program was created in 2006 to honor the vision and spirit of Earl Woods, Tiger’s father, and mentor, to continue his legacy of caring and sharing. The program goes far beyond financial assistance. Holding one of the highest graduation rates among scholarship programs in the country, our unique program is committed to ensuring every scholar is supported throughout their time in college and beyond. Once selected, our scholars receive continued guidance throughout college with mentorship, personal and professional development workshops, and internship placement assistance to ensure our scholars succeed and graduate with their bachelor’s degree.

The scholarship is open to graduating high school seniors, Class of 2025, in select schools in the Los Angeles area with a minimum 3.0 GPA that have plans to enroll full-time in an accredited four-year university in the United States in the upcoming academic year. Successful candidates will be selected on the basis of academic achievement, demonstrated financial need and a proven commitment to community service.
