Scholarships are an excellent way to help reduce the costs of higher education. That’s why applications are invited for Money Matters National Education Day Scholarship which is sponsored by the American Payroll Association and Workday, Inc.
The National Education program promotes financial literacy by teaching paycheck basics to young adults. The scholarships may be used at any accredited university, college, community college, technical school, or vocational school in the United States.
Founded in 1996 by the American Payroll Association (APA), National Payroll Week (NPW) celebrates the partnership between America’s employees, the payroll professionals who pay them, and the critical government programs and agencies that our payroll system funds.
