Foundation offers scholarship

    The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation has announced it will award as much as $30,000 in scholarships to students attending two-year colleges for transfer to a four-year college.
    In spring 2004 the Foundation plans to award 30 scholarships for the 2004-2005 school year.
    Each award can be renewed in succeeding years based on performance.
    The award may be used to pursue a degree at any accredited four-year college or university in the United States or abroad to pursue any four-year degree.
   Awards will fund tuition, room and board, required fees and books for the length of the undergraduate degree, which is normally two years.
   Recipients are required to have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher on the 4.0 scale.
   Students must complete their freshman credits in 2003 or be a recent graduate (since May 1999) of an accredited two-year institution in the United States. Applicants must be nominated by their two-year institution.
   A panel of national experts will aid the Foundation in selecting scholars.
  Candidates must be nominated by the faculty representative at their two-year institution. The deadline is Jan. 20.
  To learn more about the nomination process, contact TCC’s Jack Kent Cooke Foundation faculty representative, Lisa Benedetti, at 817-515-6986 or in NFAB 158D on NE Campus.
   Application materials are available on the Foundation Web site at www.jackkentcookefoundation.org or by calling 1-800-498-6478.
