The 2016 SC|CS Scholarship Application is now open for submissions

I recently received this email"

Hey Gene,

Would love to have this included in the school counselor portion if you think it worthy. I put on a scholarship for school counselors to attend ASCA that is funded by the school counselor community and we are going to be paying for 7 registrations this year. It's a great opportunity for school counselors.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Applicants will be eligible to receive a SC|CS 2016 scholarship to cover ASCA 2016 registration costs at their member rate (no more than $369).

Thank you to the 49 contributors who helped us raise $2,805 ($305 above our goal) which will fund 7 and a half full scholarships this year. Amazing!

Please read the entire instructions and fine print on the application form and please submit by Feb. 20th to be considered. Only completed applications will be considered.

Please note: this is only open to practicing school counselors and school counseling graduate students.

Scholarship program for Caddys

I got this email today and thought I would pass it on:

----------------------------------

I’d like to propose a blog post about a program that has been sending more than 10,000 students with financial need to college: by way of caddying.

Each year, more than 850 golf caddies across the U.S. attend college by way of a full tuition and housing scholarship through the Chick Evans Scholarship from the Western Golf Association. The requirements are straightforward: earn good grades, have a strong caddie record, demonstrate financial need and display outstanding character.

WGA’s goal is to send 1,000 kids to school annually by 2020, meaning there’s more opportunity than ever for deserving kids to earn the Scholarship.
