Mike Rowe Work Ethic Scholarship Program

For the eleventh year in a row, we’re launching the next Work Ethic Scholarship Program and giving away another $1,000,000 in scholarships this year. We’re looking for hardworking men and women who will keep the lights on, water running, and air flowing—people who will show up early, stay late, and bust their asses to get the job done. It’s not for everyone, but we know hard workers are out there.
