Scholarship Opportunities for Seniors in High School
So, you’re a high school student and you’re in the process of finding scholarships to help pay for your freshman year of college. Good job! It is our pleasure as your local telecommunications service provider to again offer local and national scholarship opportunities to area high school seniors.
These scholarship opportunities are only available to students whose parents or guardians receive their local telephone service from and are members of Chariton Valley Telephone Corporation. Should a student from our service area be selected to receive one of the 30 national scholarships ($2,000 each), Chariton Valley will contribute an additional $500 to the scholarship, bringing the total one-time scholarship award to $2,500. Last year, two students from the Chariton Valley area were awarded the National Scholarship, Nancy Jackson from New Cambria and Taylor Wilhelm from Atlanta.
In addition to the $2,500 national scholarship opportunity Chariton Valley’s Board of Directors have approved 4 local scholarships in the amount of $500 each. Seniors who are eligible and apply for the $2,500 scholarship will automatically be considered for the four $500 local scholarships - five opportunities – one application. Last year’s recipients were Kate Lyons, Darcy Crackenberger and Michael Daniels all from Hale and Amanda Yung from Salisbury.
Macon students whose parents receive their phone service from Chariton Valley are eligible for a local scholarships in the amount of $500. Last year’s recipients was Amanda Prenger!
Applications are also available at any Chariton Valley office, with your guidance counselor.
Completed applications should be sent directly to Chariton Valley Telephone Corporation, postmarked no later than Monday February 7, 2011. Once received, the Sponsor Certification section will be completed at the Chariton Valley Office and then forwarded to the FRS. Applications postmarked to Chariton Valley Telephone Corporation after February 7 will not be accepted.
We are excited to bring this scholarship opportunity to the students in our area! Please help us make it a success by ensuring that all eligible students have an opportunity to apply.
