More Than Words | Boston | May 9, 2019
At the 2019 Point Foundation Boston Cornerstone Event, John Hancock announced their funding of a student scholarship as part of the Point Community College Program. The Community College Scholarship inspires LGBTQ community college students to fulfill their ambitions of attending a four-year college or university, giving them an opportunity that may otherwise not be afforded to them. This scholarship is a great extension of John Hancock’s values, mission and work because it will benefit a student studying finance, technology, marketing or communications. “Knowing that there are people who are willing to support and guide young LGBTQ+ members of society has added passion and drive that I plan on using to pursue my dreams of empowering queer individuals, especially within the corporate world,” said 2019 scholarship recipient Luis Verbera.
