Today's scholarship update presents The Jackie Robinson Foundation Scholarship; a 4 yr. award! The minimum requirements are: U.S. citizen, minority, and accepted to a 4-year university.
The following is a listing of current scholarship applications which are available for pick-up in Logan's Career Center. This list is intended to give a brief synopsis of the most pertinent information for each scholarship or award. If a scholarship looks interesting to you, come to the career center to pick up a hardcopy application (located in the money box), or if listed under the on-line portion of this list you can apply directly using the stated web-site. Please note that the deadlines are in red, and that scholarships targeting only a certain population will have the specific requirement noted in blue. Most of these scholarships are for seniors, last year’s class of 2005 was awarded 144 scholarships. Occasionally I do receive scholarships for juniors, sophomores and freshmen as well. These will be duly noted at the end of this list.
This is free money, so don’t be lazy.......apply for as many as you can!
