Kansas City working professionals facing career setbacks due to the COVID-19-related recession can get a helping hand toward a fresh start, in the generous tradition of the late Henry W. Bloch: free fall tuition for the first semester for 研究生课程 at his namesake school of management at 威尼斯人娱乐城.
亨利·布洛赫从未动摇过他对堪萨斯城的支持，也从未动摇过他对家乡人民的支持。 Following his example, the 威尼斯人娱乐城 布洛赫管理学院 and the Marion and Henry Bloch Family Foundation are helping Kansas Citians affected by COVID-19 begin the next step in their careers and lives.
One of the first scholarship programs in the nation aimed specifically at working professionals suffering financial hardship due to the coronavirus recession, the 布洛克援助之手奖学金 provides awardees free tuition for their first semester in a 布洛赫研究生项目 and immediate access to the Bloch School’s career and entrepreneurship resources.
“We know what Dad would do in this difficult time; he would seek out unique ways to help those most in need.” said his son, Tom Bloch, chairman of the Bloch Family Foundation. “With this program, the school that bears his name is honoring his generous spirit to help those who have suffered unprecedented hardship and uncertainty by providing a pathway forward and upward through education.”
援助之手奖学金提供给居住在堪萨斯城指定市场区域的人，他们因大流行而失业、休假或其他经济困难。 Applications are available at 这个链接 and must be submitted by August 1.
“Support for working professionals who have experienced job loss or other financial hardships due to the coronavirus recession is a critical unmet need,” said Brian Klaas, dean of the Bloch School. “Providing scholarship support during these challenging times is a fitting legacy of Henry Bloch’s lifetime of leadership and service, and we are grateful to the Bloch Family Foundation for working to address an important need within this community.”
布洛赫援助之手奖学金由马里昂和亨利布洛赫家庭基金会资助，旨在帮助大约100名学生重新开始他们的职业生涯。
