Clark State student Caitlyn Leonard earns $1,000 Chime Workforce Scholarship.
The Phi Theta Kappa Foundation awarded Caitlyn Leonard, Clark State College student, a $1,000 Chime Workforce Scholarship in recognition of her academic success and commitment to career and technical education.
The scholarship recognizes high-achieving students who are pursuing career and technical education at two-year colleges. Scholarship funds offset tuition, fees, materials and other educational expenses for students working toward a certificate or associate degree in workforce development programs.
A graphic design major, Leonard plans to graduate this year and return to Clark State to pursue another degree in new media.
She is also active in workforce development efforts through her role at the Clark County Career Technology Center as a career awareness leader. In this position, she introduces elementary and middle school students to potential career paths through interactive events and “Career Kits,” which provide engaging, hands-on activities tied to local programs and industries.
“At Clark State, we believe career and technical education opens doors to achieving dreams, long-term opportunity and financial stability,” said Nina Wiley, assistant vice president of student affairs and Clark State PTK chapter advisor. “We’re proud to support students who are working hard to gain in-demand skills and build bright futures. We look forward to seeing all they go on to accomplish.”
The Chime Workforce Scholarship is open to students who are enrolled in at least six credit hours in a certificate or associate degree program at a two-year college, have completed a minimum of six credit hours, maintain a 3.0 grade point average or higher and plan to enter the workforce by June 2026.
