New $1,000 merit scholarship
offered to high school seniors
High school seniors in Madison Coun
ty planning to enroll in college or a tech
nical school after graduation have a new
$1,000 merit scholarship available to
them.
The Madison County Democrats are
sponsoring the scholarship in an effort to
inspire local teens to engage in meaning
ful community discourse and debate.
There is a second scholarship of $500.
High school seniors, including those
who are home schooled, can enter the
competition by writing an essay, a piece
of short fiction, or a podcast. A jury of
local county leaders will judge the en
tries.
“We want our young people to take a
deep look at the democratic process and
address the question, ‘How can equality,
diversity, and inclusion thrive in Madi
son County?"’ said Madison County
Democratic Committee Chairman Clyde
Verhine. “This scholarship is meant to
encourage thoughtful analysis and re
spectful dialogue."
Organizers said the scholarship is
offered in a non-partisan spirit. All stu
dents are invited to participate. The com
petition is open through March 31,2020.
The scholarship was conceived by the
Community Affirmation Subcommit
tee of the Madison County Democrats,
which is committed to promoting educa
tional endeavors.
