"These scholarship winners are our future doctors, designers, engineers, educators, and scientists - each one well equipped as a lifelong learner and leader because of their Linked Learning experience," said Anne B. Stanton, President of the Linked Learning Alliance. "These young people are resilient, self-determined, creative, persistent, and fully prepared to meet the challenges of the future of work.
"They inspire the Linked Learning field to double down and ensure that even more young people have these opportunities. I also congratulate educators, employers and partners in Sacramento, Fresno, Visalia, Los Angeles, and San Diego who have embraced high quality Linked Learning and made it a reality for these young people and many more. The positive impact of their hard work is being felt in communities across California and beyond."

These annually awarded prizes are given to college-bound students who have exemplified the motivation and dedication at the core of Linked Learning's mission. The opportunity to apply for the Linked Learning Scholarship is only available to students in Linked Learning pathways that have achieved Candidate level or above on Linked Learning Certification. Each scholarship is worth $1,000.
Linked Learning Certification is a platform that supports and provides recognition of continuous improvement and progress toward preparing all students for college, career, and life. Districts can use Linked Learning Certification to register pathways that provide or are aspiring to provide students a Linked Learning experience that integrates the four core components of Linked Learning: 1) college preparatory academics, 2) high-quality sequenced CTE courses, 3) work-based learning and 4) comprehensive support services for students.
Since the release of Linked Learning Certification at the beginning of this 2017, over 550 pathways have registered to participate in the certification process, including pathways in California, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan, Texas, Kansas, India, and Canada.
