Scholarships Offered for College, Non-Trad Students - January 02, 2008
WILLIAMSTOWN - Scholarships are available for residents in college and secondary programs through the Williamstown Municipal Scholarship Committee.
These scholarships are meant for those who have already begun their college experience and for those who are considered to be non-traditional students enrolled in accredited educational programs beyond the secondary school level. The latter students are often those who have returned to the academic world after a period of time doing other things. Students who have been accepted at or are already enrolled in technical or vocational postsecondary programs are eligible to apply.
Award recipients must be residents of Williamstown; the scholarships are for the fall 2008 semester.
High school seniors, because they are eligible for other scholarship awards, are not considered for these scholarships. However, they are encouraged to apply in subsequent years when they meet the requirements.
The committee consists of four residents appointed by the Selectmen and the superintendent of the Mount Greylock Regional School District. Scholarship Committee members are Roger Cirone, William Travis, Bart van Luling, Margaret Ware and Cheryl Yarter.
The committee will consider the financial need, character, scholastic record, involvement in community work, and extracurricular activities of all applicants in determining scholarship recipients. Transcripts of completed work and financial need data are part of the application.
Funding for these scholarships comes from voluntary contributions made by residents. It is anticipated that this year's scholarships will total $5,000.
Application forms are available at the treasurer/collector's office in the Town Municipal Building and may be obtained in person or by mail. The application deadline is Feb. 15 and completed forms must be received in the treasurer/collector's office no later than 5 p.m. on that date. Awards will be announced in late February, and scholarships will be mailed by early March to the recipients' educational institutions for first semester payment. |
