74%
OF THE SENIORS APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS
The CSF of BGM (a Dollars for
Scholar Chapter) passed out scholarship applications on March 1, 2000 and held
Applications Night on Tuesday evening,
March
28, 2000. There were 31 BGM students
who turned in applications for the scholarships to be presented on Awards
Night, May 11, 2000, at the BGM High School.
The 31 students submitting the applications represent 74% of the senior
class.
Over the past 11 years (including
this year), there has been 352 students apply for a scholarship through CSF of
BGM out of 509 graduates. That is a
total of 69.2% of the students.
The Award Committee, chaired by
Dorothea Hicks, will be meeting to score the scholarship applications. Dorothea has chaired and helped score the
applications since the beginning. There
have been many people helping Dorothea and she would like to thank all of
them. If anyone is interested in
helping Dorothea this year, please call her at 685-6482. Remember if you have any relation graduating
in May 2000, you will not be able to serve on the Awards Committee this year.

please stop her and say thank you for all the work she has done for the CSF of
BGM.
