Council 2 to boost scholarships by $50,000

COUNCIL 2 IS SET to add $50,000 to its scholarship funds in the fall.

The money will be available in the form of an additional 10 scholarships of $5,000 each for full-time students who are dependents of members. At present, only one such $5,000 scholarship is available.

“We realize that times are tough for everybody and college costs are not getting any less expensive,” says Council 2 President/Executive Director Chris Dugovich. “We are pleased we are able to do this to help out.”

The new scholarships will be available only this year.
The existing six $2,000 scholarships for dependents will still be available, as will the four $1,000 awards for members’ continuing education.

Application forms for this year’s scholarships are available from Council 2’s Everett offices or online at www.council2.com/scholarships. They must be postmarked by March 31.
