Its that time of year again!!

As high school seniors across the state begin preparations for entry into college, Project IMPACT is proud to once again offer financial assistance to these deserving students in need. 

 

Last year, we provided three high school students with scholarships that helped offset expenses associated with college. This year, as our organization has grown, so has our scholarship program. Through the help of the communities we serve, we were able to create more scholarship opportunities to help more students, and we will open applications to eight to ten scholarships this spring!

 

Formerly operating as DUSEAF, Project IMPACT continues the mission of helping Mississippi's youth advance by any means necessary. We are still honored to be able to provide this service for high school seniors across the state.

 

Like last year, we need your help spreading the word to students, parents, teachers and school administrators about our scholarships listed below. Students all over Mississippi will be able to apply starting January 15th, 2018.

Upon graduation, scholars must teach in a Mississippi public school for five years.

To: Sydney Ethridge <sethridge@lauderdale.k12.ms.us>


Greetings Superintendents, Curriculum Coordinators, Special Education Directors, Federal Program Directors, Principals, and High School Guidance Counselors:

 

The United States Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964, by Executive Order of the President, to recognize and honor some of our Nation's most distinguished graduating high school seniors.  In 1979, the Program was extended to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, creative and performing arts.  In 2015, the program was again extended to recognize students who demonstrate ability and accomplishment in career and technical education (CTE) fields. Each year, up to 161 students are named as U.S. Presidential Scholars, one of the nation's highest honors for high school students. The Scholars represent excellence in education and the promise of greatness in young people.   High school seniors who are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents graduating between January 2018 and June 2018 who attend public, parochial, independent, or home-school programs with the aforementioned qualities are eligible for this honor. 

All Presidential Scholars are awarded the Presidential Honors Medallion and honored for their accomplishments during the National Recognition Program in 2018 in Washington, D.C.  To learn more about the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program, please visit http://www.ed.gov/psp

This year, Dr. Carey Wright, State Superintendent of Education, will nominate up to 20 students (10 males and 10 females) for the general component of the program and up to five students for the CTE component. The nomination application is attached and should be mailed to Dr. Marla Davis (mdavis@mdek12.org) in the Office of Secondary Education at P.O. Box 771, Jackson, MS 39205 and post-marked by Friday, November 3, 2017.  An informational flyer is also attached for you to share with parents and students.

 

Students who are selected to be nominated by Dr. Wright to the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program will receive additional information via mail directly from the Presidential Scholars Program in January 2018.

 

Thanks,

Nathan
