OPPORTUNITY--The Young Scholars Program
I am the manager of community outreach for the Center for Talent Development at Northwestern University and the Jack Kent Cooke(JKC) Young Scholars Program which is a national scholarship program for high achieving 7th grade students with financial need.
The program provides exceptional students with individualized educational guidance and educational services, which could include tutors, summer programs, on-line classes, computers, and possible tuition support through their high school years and continued support as they enter the college of their choice.
I am eager to make this opportunity available
to all that qualify. It is a scholarship program that could dramatically enhance a students academic possibilities.
The Young Scholars Program is highly competitive and attracts outstanding applicants from across the United States.
The specific criteria for consideration are:
Current 7th grade students
Strong academic record, awards/honors, teacher recommendation
Financial need
Motivation, Leadership
An appreciation for the arts, music, literature, or similar fields
The application (there is no cost to apply) is available now and has a deadline return date of April 26, 2010. Additional information can be found at their site, http://www.jkcf.org
If you or someone from your school would like more information or have questions about the Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholars Program feel free to contact me.
I also have brochures available upon request.
This is a great opportunity for students that meet the criteria, it is an in-depth application so I would suggest as soon as the application becomes available parents should begin the process of completing it.
Feel free to contact me with any questions and to distribute this information to others.
Sincerely,
Tammie
