CHICAGO, April 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe:
CBOE), the world's leading derivatives and securities exchange
network, announced the recipients of its 2024 Cboe Empowers
Scholarship Program, which for the first time included students
from New York City. This year,
Cboe Empowers awarded full-ride scholarships to five recipients in
Chicago, three recipients in
Kansas City and two recipients in
New York City.
Initially launched in 2021, the Cboe Empowers Scholarship
Program awards a select number of full-ride scholarships to
students from Chicago's South or
West sides, Kansas City
(Missouri and Kansas), and New
York City. This year's recipients were honored with a
celebration and bell-ringing ceremony attended by Cboe leadership
and associates at each of the respective Cboe offices. The
scholarship program is part of Cboe Empowers, the company's
community engagement program that supports under-resourced students
across all stages of education, from elementary or primary school
to career. In addition to scholarships, Cboe Empowers provides
mentorship, guidance and educational and leadership opportunities
to under-resourced students.
"We would like to congratulate this year's Cboe Empowers
Scholarship recipients and we look forward to providing them with
the support and resources they need to succeed in college and
beyond," said Kelli Haywood,
Community Impact Senior Manager at Cboe Global Markets. "Access to
higher education and valuable mentorships play a crucial role in
eliminating many of the obstacles students deal with throughout
their educational journey. We are honored to continue our
scholarship program into its third year, this time expanding into a
new location and further deepening our impact. By partnering with
the communities our associates work and live, Cboe hopes to provide
students with the opportunities they deserve."
"The Chicago Community Trust is honored to be the host of the
Cboe Empowers Fund and help provide scholarships to students across
the country," said Molly Rand,
