Yesterday, 36 students -- ranging in ages from 13 to 16 -- received a CHANCE scholarship and a certificate of completion for successfully participating in the Third Annual 2004 NAACP Summer Youth Program. The workshop, held at no cost to the students, was held three hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays over an eight-week period and was voluntarily taught by International College faculty and staff. Workshops covered various subjects each week, including math, writing, computer and life skills.
To qualify for the scholarships, students had to meet specific criteria, including good attendance, classroom participation, and good behavior. The following students qualified to receive a two-year CHANCE Scholarship offered by International College:
