This scholarship will be given to a deserving Berlin High School graduate pursuing a business, finance, or accounting degree program. The student must be enrolled in a two or four-year college, and must maintain a 3.0 GPA. She or he will receive $1,000 for each year completed for the length of the program. The scholarship will be awarded to the student to whom it will make the most difference, not based on GPA.
To apply, students must write an essay explaining why they are interested in their chosen field, their outside work and the extra-curricular activities in which they participated while at the Berlin Central School District, as well as what they hope to do after graduating from college. Selection will be made by the Berlin Alumni Association.
Applications are available in the Guidance Office and should be returned to the guidance counselor by May 15. To receive the award, the recipient must attend the Alumni Banquet on June 6 at 6:30 pm at the Hilton Garden Inn, Hoosick Street in Troy.
