Subject: FREE RIDE Scholarships TO BACONE !!Importance: HighAugust 15, 2006Today I bring greetings to you on behalf of the President of BaconeCollege. Specifically, I have been requested to provide information toyou about our Native Learning Work Community and to let you know that wecurrently have 30 full tuition, room and board scholarships for the mostdeserving students (Full Pell eligible) remaining to be awarded for theFall 06 term which began this week.I invite all of you as native citizens to contact your tribal chief orhigher education office to assure that they are making nominations tothe Program and to specifically assure that any student who was not ableto attend college this semester due to financial constraints benominated for receipt of this scholarship.This program has been in place since 2003 and letters to all tribalchiefs and higher ed office have been sent out annually. Unfortunately,last semester 15 of these scholarships went unclaimed. This is atragedy since we all know that many of our native students do not pursuean education because they just can't afford the cost. With this Baconescholarship along with the help of the tribes and their higher educationgrants to their students, NLWC students will be able to receive acollege degree and not have huge students loans upon graduation. We stress the urgency in timeliness of the nomination since school isjust underway, but it is not too late to bring these kids to campus.Any questions concerning the program may be directed to Shelli Hopkinsin the Office of the President at 918-360-3935.
