Here at CentraCom Interactive we are committed to helping the students in our service areas achieve their goal of a college education. For the past ten years, CentraCom Interactive has offered scholarships to eligible high school seniors planning to attend college. This has been a great opportunity not only to serve our community, but to get to know future leaders of America.
We are pleased to announce that we have partnered with Snow College to bring even larger scholarship value. We will be giving away six scholarships with an initial value of $500. If the recipient chooses to attend Snow College, the scholarship from CentraCom will be $1000 and Snow College will match $250 raising the value to $1250. The scholarship may be used for any college expense, such as tuition, books, housing, etc.
If you would like to apply for a scholarship, please contact Laura Christensen at (435) 427-0642 or (800) 427-8449 to obtain an application. You may also e-mail her. Additionally, click here to download an application.
The application must be completed and sent in with a 500-word essay (double spaced). This essay should include information about any achievements, accomplishments, or honors received from employment, school and community. Also, explain the kind of service you contributed to your church, school or community. Provide details about any service projects you have been involved in. Share any personal information that will help us get to know you better such as your hobbies and free time activities. We are also interested in scholastic and personal goals for the future.
In addition to the application and essay, we require at least two letters of recommendation. The first must be from a school administrator assigned by your counselor. The second letter of recommendation must be from a member of your community at large. You are not limited to just one letter from members of your community. Handwritten entry forms will not be accepted.
To be eligible, you must be a high school senior and planning to attend college in the fall of 2008. You must also be a legal dependent of a CentraCom Interactive customer.
A committee will evaluate all of the applications submitted. The selection of the successful candidates will be based on the following criteria:
(1) originality and creativity in presenting the essay,
(2) noteworthy involvement in community service and school activities, and
(3) future goals demonstrating a genuine interest in continuing your education.
The chosen candidates will be notified by telephone and by mail. The winners will also be featured in our June newsletter. |
