Scholarship Opportunity - DUE TUESDAY 4/8
Due to there being very few applications for the Valley Springs Alumni Scholarship, the founders of the scholarships have generously decided to extend the deadline to next Tuesday. I will need those applications first thing that Tuesday morning.
Also, please note this scholarship is also for Trade School Students! If you are pursuing any kind of trade such as nursing, cosmetology, trucking, etc. please APPLY. Our community members put so much work into gathering this money to essentially give away to deserving students, they are begging for more applicants and the application is short and can be done in a couple of hours.
If you apply for an Alumni scholarship you also need to apply to the Alumni Class of 1985, they look at both.
