The SOS YC (Saving Our Students) Youth Coalition is sponsoring an Art Contest for Teens that is 2 fold: 1) to educate teens for prevention of drug use, and 2) to showcase artistic talents of teens in the community. The contest is part of the Youth Coalition's year long anti-drug project entitled "101 Things to Do Besides Drugs" that is currently ongoing.

The contest period will be from December 1, 2016, until January 6, 2017. All high school students in Anderson County are encouraged & welcome to participate in the contest.

Please see attached informational page, which provides details about contest, entries & winning prizes. 3-4 winning entries will become part of the Youth Coalition's brochure that's being created & will be distributed community wide next spring.

We are hoping that ACHS & CAL will encourage their students to participate in this contest activity.

Art contest entry forms & an informational sheet about the contest are attached for your use. If you have questions or need additional information regarding this matter, please contact me at 502-517-1938 or at [email protected].

On behalf of the SOS YC students, who care so much about their peers & work hard to prevent drug use, thank you very much.


Respectfully,
Donna Crain Drury, Advisor
Saving Our Students Youth Coalition

Cynthia,

Greetings from the University of Louisville!
With the UofL scholarship application now available, we are actively working with high school counselors to gather the names of academically talented Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino seniors who qualify for specific scholarships within our office. We ask that you please review the following UofL diversity scholarship descriptions and criteria, and follow the links to nominate your students as soon as possible. The scholarship application deadline is December 15, 2016.
Please note: If you nominate a student for the Woodford R. Porter Scholarship and that student also qualifies for the Martin Luther King Scholars Program, there is no need to complete the MLK Scholars Program nomination. The student will be automatically considered for both scholarships.
Woodford R. Porter Scholarship
Black/African American Students with 3.0 GPA and 20 ACT*
The Woodford R. Porter Scholarship was named after the former trustee, Woodford R. Porter Sr., known for his dedication to strong advocacy for education in Louisville, KY. His famous saying was "education is the great equalizer," as he believed it to be the ultimate path towards self and collective improvement. This scholarship annually provides over 200 Black/African American students with a variety of awards ranging from $2,000 to full in-state tuition, plus a stipend to cover room, food and book expenses
_
Martin Luther King Scholars Program
Black/African American or Hispanic/Latino Students with 3.5 GPA and 26 ACT or 1240 SAT**
The Martin Luther King Scholars participate in an engaging leadership development program while enrolled at the University of Louisville. In this mentored scholar program, students have the opportunity to explore issues surrounding peace and social justice through course work, service learning, and a unique immersion trip. In addition to a specialized academic track and other unique opportunities, the program provides full in-state tuition plus an $8,000 stipend to cover other university expenses.
