The James Logan Courier

By Barbara Hart, Career Center Tech

Today I have posted 4 new scholarships, all to be found in the on-line section, meaning that you will have to apply or down load your applications on-line.

The four new scholarships are:

• Horatio Alger for students with a min GPA of 2.0 and an annual family income of less than $50,000.
• Ron Brown Scholars Program for Black or African American students.
• Pilot Recruiting Diversity Program for individuals enrolling in the AFROTC program.
• Chico State - President's Scholar Competition for students with high GPA's and who will be attending Chico in Fall '07.

The following is a listing of current scholarship applications which are available for your pick-up in the Career Center. This list is intended to give you 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 2006 was awarded 136 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!
