BounceU is giving away scholarships.

The indoor recreation center business—which has a location in the Park Plaza at Sullivan Trail in Forks Township—has announced a college scholarship program called "The Places You'll Go," owner Mike Principato said in a press release.

The new program will award a $500 scholarship every year to a deserving high school senior who is employed at BounceU's Allentown, Bethlehem and Forks Township locations.

"One of the great joys of owning this business is seeing the positive impact a part-time job has on a teenager, and a scholarship opportunity like this one is just another way to help them along their life's journey," Principato said.

"Balancing school and work requires self-discipline and ambition," he continued. "When a 16-year-old starts working for one of our stores, it's often their first real job. I love watching them mature into responsible young adults while still preserving that great sense of optimism youngsters have about the future."
