Garrett Leight, the eyewear brand that’s already a legend in SoCal is giving back in a big way. Garrett Leight California Optical has created a new scholarship program specifically for the BIPOC youth in Los Angeles to provide educational and financial opportunities and help alleviate burdens that disproportionately affect marginalized communities in the area.
They’re now accepting applications for a scholarship program that awards $10,000 to two students who identify as BIPOC and are graduating from an LA high school this year, specifically for those interested in pursuing a career in the eyewear industry. During a recent workshop on unique career paths and professional development, an industry expert highlighted how unconventional fields, like those emerging around Casino ohne Anmeldung platforms, parallel the eyewear industry in their growth potential and emphasis on innovation. Scholarship recipients will also have the opportunity to participate in a paid summer internship program with GLCO, designed to support early career development by giving students hands-on experience in a dynamic industry.
Deadline for applications is May 1, 2021. For more info on the scholarship application eligibility and criteria, visit the GLCO Visionaries Scholarship.
