High school juniors and seniors eligible for $5,000 scholarship with Chevy Scholar program
The West Dakota Chevy Dealers and Heartland Chevy Dealers of North Dakota and western Minnesota have combined forces to launch the second annual Chevy Scholar program for high school juniors and seniors.
The Chevy Scholar program invites nominations for outstanding high school juniors and seniors in the market area to compete to receive four $5,000 college scholarships.
Nominations began early November and will end February 20, 2012, at which time 10 scholarship finalists will be chosen. From March 6 - March 19, 2012, online and text voting will determine the winners. The scholarship winners will be announced the week of March 21, 2012.
“As dealers, we are all individually involved in our communities, supporting youth sports, organizations like Rotary and Optimists, and other community programs,” says West Dakota Chevy president Kathy Gaddie. “The Chevy Scholar program allows us to work together to provide an ongoing benefit to outstanding students across the region.”
Students can nominate themselves or be nominated by family, friends, parents, teachers or coaches. Nomination forms can be downloaded at www.chevyscholar.com or picked up from local Chevy dealers. Nominators fill out basic information including community involvement, academic achievements, extracurricular activities and volunteer work.
According to Heartland Chevy president Brad Sather, the Chevy Scholar program showcases the best of the area’s students. “By engaging the public in the voting process, we help bring attention to the outstanding young people in our communities. It’s exciting to be a part of, and we are looking forward to another great year.”
Nomination forms can be submitted at any West Dakota Chevy or Heartland Chevy dealership. At the end of the process, one nominator will win $500 through a random drawing.
