The Clinton Community Educational Foundation has a variety of scholarships available to Clinton High School students this spring.

A scholarship the Foundation has been known for for many years is the Vincent Beggs Scholarship. According to Eileen Carter with the Foundation, a student can receive a yearly, $1250 scholarship if they are a full time student.

There is also a Vincent Beggs Memorial Scholarship for students looking to go into technical training. Carter says this is a one time scholarship for $25-hundred.

Exelon Corporation has a one time scholarship of $1000 the CCEF administers for them. According to Carter, this scholarship is a one time award for students either going to a trade school or a four year college.

The Foundation this year is unveiling a new scholarship aimed at students who want to go into education. Carter explains a former Clinton High School teacher has the scholarship named after him.

Applications are available in the Clinton High School guidance office and are due by March 18. Carter says the scholarships have special instructions so she encourages careful reading when filling them out and submitting them.
