The 2016 recipients of the Dream BIG Scholarship, which
awards full scholarships to select individuals, have been announced by the National
Retail Federation (NRF) and the University of Phoenix.
“Each one of these scholarship recipients was chosen because
they believe in working hard, getting the job done and helping the retail
industry grow,” Matthew Shay, NRF president and CEO, said. “Although each
recipient has already made a positive impact on the industry, the best is yet
to come. Furthering their education can help enhance career opportunities for
them in retail — and we at NRF can’t wait to see what they accomplish.”
Educational opportunities like the Dream BIG Scholarship can jump-start the careers of gifted students within the retail industry.
“Opportunities in retail continue to grow as technology and
consumer demands drive change within the industry,” Ruth Veloria, executive dean at the University of Phoenix School of Business, said. “Education can be
an important piece to help pursue career and leadership opportunities in this
field — especially given how diverse the career paths are. University of
Phoenix is proud to team up with the National Retail Federation to develop the
next generation of leaders in retail by providing an industry-aligned education
designed to help them succeed.”
