By now, many high school seniors have applied for college and have hopefully received their acceptance letters. This is an unusual time for high school seniors as they navigate the COVID-19 pandemic while preparing for college and their future. Emery Telcom wants to help relieve some of the stress students may be experiencing by offering an opportunity to be award a $1,000 scholarship.
The scholarship is available to high school seniors from Carbon, Emery, Grand and San Juan counties and multiple scholarships will be awarded. In offering these scholarships, the company’s goal is to provide financial aid to students who have striven to achieve good academics, community involvement and have a desire to continue their education. Scholarship money can be used for tuition, school fees and books.
The deadline to apply for the scholarship has been extended to May 22. Students who are interested in applying for this scholarship can find the requirements and application online at emerytelcom.com. Once there, click on the “Community” tab and select “Scholarships”.
Priority will be given to applicants who have not been awarded other scholarships or financial aid. Winners will be announced in early June. Congratulations to the class of 2020 and good luck with your future endeavors!
