Each student has received a one-year award of $2,500 to help finance post-secondary education. This fall, one SolvayCARES Scholarship winner will go on to earn the title of "Thriving Student Achiever" through an online voting process at http://www.SolvayCARESScholarship.com and be honored with a scholarship totaling $10,000.
