BLOCS (Business Leadership Organized for Catholic Schools) celebrated the grand opening of its new office in King of Prussia on Wednesday, Nov. 13 with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting ceremony and a performance by the Archbishop John Carroll High School Choir, symbolizing the strong partnership between BLOCS and the local educational community.
During National Scholarship Awareness Month, celebrated each year in November, BLOCS underscores its commitment to enhancing educational opportunities for students in the Philadelphia region.
As the largest scholarship organization in Pennsylvania, BLOCS awards 17,000 need-based scholarships annually.
CEO Rob Delany said the new office space marks BLOCS’ efforts to help as many students and families as possible in the Philadelphia region attain their educational goals.
“We are proud to welcome the community to our new office,” Delany said. “Education is the key to creating a strong workforce and a solid community. At BLOCS, we’re changing lives by helping students realize their potential through values-based education.”
