 Hello, I'm Cherise Bell, the PR Manager with the City's Parks and Recreation Department, and I'm here on City Talk to talk about the DreamKeeper Scholarship Program. We are now accepting applications for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. DreamKeeper Scholarship Program. It's open to elementary, middle, and high school students. This is an opportunity for us to recognize our students in the community and surrounding areas who excel academically, who displayed characteristics of Dr. King, so those who've given back to their community, those who've given back to their schools. So we have essentially three categories for the scholarship program. We have the elementary school level, we have a middle school level, and then we have a high school level, which is a little more competitive because those students are thinking about what they're going to do post-secondary education. So with the different scholarship levels, we have different dollar amounts. So elementary, middle school students were normally receiving a award between $100 to $250. High school students get a little bit more, so it ranges from $250 to $1,000 for the top scholarship recipient. For more information on how to apply and where you can find the scholarship application, you can visit our website at www.columbiasc.gov. You can also give us a call at the Parks and Recreation Department at 803-545-3100. We also have hard copies of the application available at our Parks and Recreation Administration Office, which is located inside Irlewood Park at 1111 Recreation Drive. Well, this year we did update the scholarship application, so I encourage students who are interested in applying, and again this is open to any student. They have to be 18 years or younger in elementary, middle, or high school. They have to have a GPA of 2.0 or higher. So the change this year is if you are a, if you're applying for or you want to receive a $1,000 scholarship, you must have a grade point average of 3.0 or higher if you want to receive the $1,000 scholarship. But really it's open to anyone. The application, I encourage everyone to please, please read it thoroughly to make sure they have everything in their packet because we do not want anyone to not be able to be a part of the program if they do not include all of the attachments. So that would be a transcripts, a volunteer hours, all the documentation is needed to review your application for the Dream Keeper Scholarship Program. They're allowed to apply for the Dream Keeper Scholarship Program. It's Friday, November 16th, so you still have some time to get the application in there, and please make sure you read the application that happens and changes in the application this year. We encourage all students, elementary, middle, high school students younger than age 18 with at least a 2.0 GPA to please apply.
