East Allentown-Rittersville Neighborhood
Association Mini-Scholarship Award
Program for 2009-2010 .........

The East Allentown-Rittersville
Neighborhood Association Inc. (EARN)
will once again offer a mini-scholarship
grant to at least two graduating high school
seniors who live in the 14th and 15th
Wards of Allentown and who intend to
continue their formal education at
institutions of higher learning. The amount
of each mini-scholarship award will be at
least $200.

Important criteria to be considered for
these mini-scholarships are the following:

*** The student must reside in the 14th or
15th Ward of the city of Allentown (zip
code 18109).

*** The student must intend to continue
his or her education beyond high school at
a college, or at a technical or trade school.

*** The student need not be an "A
student," but must be motivated enough to
be successful in meeting the academic
requirements of the school he or she plans
to attend.

*** Applicant should demonstrate some
need for assistance. The mini-scholarships
are intended for graduating seniors who do
not expect to receive scholarship assistance
from multiple sources.

*** The awards will be presented to the
students at the awards dinner (if any) of
the high schools in which the students
come from. Both the name of the
successful candidate for the award and the
school in which successful candidate
chooses to go will be on the award check.

Applicants should complete an EARN
Mini-Scholarship Application and return it
to their guidance counselor, who will
forward it to the neighborhood association.

Cooperating Guidance Counselors shall
submit all applications to the neighborhood
association no later than April 1, 2010..

We suspect that the primary source of
applicants will be students from Dieruff
High School ... But students who reside in
our boundary areas from Allen High
School, Central Catholic High School ,
Public Charter Schools and other private or
parochial schools are eligible to apply as
well.
