Pursuit of scholarship Laura Boedges Erin Hass ... Jeff Dodge ... names from the past. What did they have in common? All these people were offered scholarships. Scholarships were mysterious. How, where and when to apply for one could prove a problem. What kind of research to do to find which is the best for you and your interests was also a challenge. How to start? Well, the Advisement Center seemed like a good place. For scholarship information Dr. Carl Swarin- gim was one person to see. Mrs. Jane Curry worked on job placement this year, but had worked on scholarship in- formation in the past.

Some were universal-they allowed you to attend at any college while oth- ers were for a particular college or uni- versity. Students had to apply for schol- arships - they just didn’t fall out of the sky and hit you on the head. Scholar- ships were also awarded for different reasons, such as academic merit or fi- nancial need. Sometimes students had an example to follow-a friend or relative. Debbie Da- vis, sophomore, had not started think- ing about scholarships this year, but tells of an aunt who was awarded one for “having honors in her class and by being an ‘A’ student.” Thinking seriously about scholarships and college, Eve Kampmeinert and Matt Hogan, seniors, study the scholarship information bulletins.
