Low-Income Middle Schoolers: Sign Up for College Bound Scholarship

The College Bound Scholarship program encourages low-income, middle school students to choose a path that will lead to educational success after high school.

The program promises tuition (at public institution rates) and a small book allowance for income-eligible students who sign up in the seventh and eighth grade, work hard in school, stay out of legal trouble and successfully apply to a higher education institution when they graduate.

Students must sign up while they are in seventh and eighth grade, and need only to apply once. The deadline for all applicants is Sunday, June 30.
