MLK Scholars Program
MLK Scholars Program
John Hancock’s MLK Scholars program aims to level the playing field for young people who do not have equal access to the work experiences and networks that are key to building long-term skills, self-confidence, and financial empowerment. In addition to a meaningful summer job experience at John Hancock’s corporate office or a community-based organization, John Hancock also provides digital financial literacy training to hundreds of students each year. Since the program’s inception in 2008, John Hancock has invested over $15 million for more than 6,000 young people.
