Students planning to obtain licenses or certification for trade, paraprofessional or other vocations which don't require academic degrees will be considered for scholarship awards separately from those attending four-year colleges. Applications from students who will attend junior college or technical and vocational schools to achieve their career goals are encouraged.
Notification of scholarship awards will be made in late May. Please contact me if you have any questions or need additional information.
