Electives is giving Indira Joseph, a sophomore at University of Massachusetts - Boston, a $1,000 scholarship to cover books and supplies.

"The Electives team believes learning should never end, so we're excited to support a local student in his continued learning journey," said Jason Lavender, Co-Founder and CEO of Electives. "As Electives grows to support more enterprise clients, including local companies like Mainstay and Embark Veterinary and national brands like Puma and Zynga, we are focused on delivering learning people love from people they never forget. But we want to make sure we also give back to our Boston community. The first annual Electives Learning Scholarship is just one part of our plan to make learning more accessible."

Electives invited incoming and currently enrolled college students attending a list of Boston-based higher education institutions to apply for the Electives Learning Scholarship.
