More Scholarship Opportunities

Calling all seniors!  We received two more scholarship opportunities today, so please read over the criteria and see if you qualify.

1.  The Signal Mountain Lions Charity Student Scholarship Program - First, you must reside in the 37377 zip code area.  Now, if you're still reading, this scholarship is worth up to $3,200 for four years of college ($800 a year).  The award is based on the applicant's financial need and academic achievement.

Please see Mrs. Haley in the college office for an application.  Important Note: You will need a copy of the the Student Aid Report (SAR) from the FAFSA, so you cannot submit the scholarship application until that has been completed.  The final deadline for applications is April 15, 2015.

2.  The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International (Alpha Xi Chapter) is sponsoring an essay contest for all Tennessee high school students (grades 9-12).  First prizes is $300 with a possible extra $100 from the local chapter.  There are also 2nd and 3rd place monetary prizes.

Here's the essay topic:
     Poetry can often be referred to as the window to one's soul. Read and respond to "The Road Not Taken'" by Robert Frost and explain the central idea or theme of the poem.  You will also need to include a personal connection to the poem, perhaps focusing on making decisions, the abundance of choices one may encounter in life, or the impact of change as one grows older (these are just ideas).

You must turn in your essay to the college office by Friday, February 27, 2015. For more information, see Mrs. Haley.
