It’s scholarship season, and a local non-profit is reminding Clinton students to check out the many scholarships available.
Terry Husted with the Clinton Community Education Foundation indicates they have increased the amount of scholarships they are able to provide to Clinton High School seniors, now at 14. One of the larger offerings is an award of $20,000 over four years at a university.
Chris Shaffer is the CCEF Treasurer and notes that the organization strives to make scholarship money available to all types of students, from those seeking a four-year education to those wanting to enter the trades. With that in mind, she encourages checking out the “decision grid” they’ve developed.
The CCEF covers 75% of the cost of dual-credit courses through Richland Community College for CHS students. Schaffer calls this a huge win for students because they get a leg up on higher education by acquiring college and high school credits simultaneously.
Check out ccef15.org to find more on scholarship resources, as well as all the ways they support the Clinton School District. You can also find the non-profit on Facebook.
