Scholarship Applications Now Available

The Harrington Foundation strongly promotes postsecondary education. A college scholarship fund has been established to offer support to students in the career of their choice. Three national scholarships and seven state scholarships totaling up to $10,000 may be awarded annually.

The Foundation encourages applications from high-performing students that may be entering a variety of postsecondary institutions or programs, including career and technical training programs or schools, community colleges, and four-year universities.

The application deadline is April 30, 2007. All application documents should be submitted between March 30, 2007 and April 30, 2007. Applications received outside of this time period will be discarded.

For more information, eligibility requirements, and the scholarship application visit www.theharringtonfoundation.org. We encourage schools to post a link to our scholarships on their school’s web page.

iPods

The monthly drawings for an iPod Nano from the Foundation continue to be popular. Over 6,500 individuals have registered to win an iPod since the start of the academic year. Opportunities to win an iPod will continue monthly until the end of the school year.
