Murray High School seniors now can apply for a $2,000 scholarship aimed at students looking to pursue further education or vocational training.
The Murray Education Foundation recently introduced this scholarship program and will be awarding three scholarships to students interested in trade professions, culinary arts, hospitality management or game design.
“We’re keeping it simple; we want a lot of students to apply who are interested in these fields,” said Doug Perry, Murray Education Foundation executive director. “We ask they file a short essay on their career plans and how they arrived at that, and then a list of activities they’ve participated in (both within and outside of school). They can use the scholarships anywhere they can once they demonstrate they’ve been enrolled in and have a schedule.”
The application deadline is April 13. More details are available on the Murray Education Foundation’s website (murrayeducationfoundation.org) and the Murray School District’s site (www.murrayschools.org).
Applications will be reviewed by a three-person selection committee before a decision is made. Perry also said the scholarship can be deferred for up to three years.
Furthermore, the Foundation will award two teachers with $1,600 scholarships to help cover the costs of earning their gifted and talented endorsement.
“This is an area we, as a school district, are wanting to elevate and make stronger,” Perry said. “This endorsement benefits all teachers, not just those who are teaching gifted and talented students.”λ
