“Sprague’s culture has created an environment that emphasizes ongoing learning environment and whole-person development,” said Leila Haas, director of people operations, MA PHR SHRM-CP. “The scholarship program is another avenue for Sprague team members and their families to act on and achieve their educational aspirations.”

Scholarship applicants were asked to submit an essay describing what they have done to give back to their community, what has been there most significant accomplishment and how it impacted their life and how they intend to use the scholarship to advance their skills, knowledge and abilities as they pursue their education.
