As a DOE and Queens Public Library vendor, the nonprofit organization Practical Knowledge INC. answers that call by conducting scholarship workshops for youth serving organizations and works with students helping them strengthen their essays, interactive interview skill development, etc. By arming students with the tools to better position them for scholarship success, the funding they attract in scholarship aid helps to offset the amount of student loan debt they incur while pursuing a college education.\n\n</div></dd><dt name=\"number-1727191411855-0\">Please provide your Zip Code</dt><dd id=\"number-1727191411855-0\" name=\"number\">\n\n<div>11766\n\n</div></dd></dl></xml>"]
