Mary J. Szczepanski "Never Give Up" Scholarship Program
Accelerated Cure Project is pleased to announce a partnership with the Mary J. Szczepanski "Never Give Up" Scholarship Foundation.
Through this program, nine $500 scholarships will be awarded to high school seniors for raising the most funds for Accelerated Cure Project during the 2008-2009 school year.
Two scholarships per school will be available specifically for students at Catholic Central, Kenowa Hills, and Covenant Christian High Schools. One scholarship will be available to students at Comstock Park High School. One scholarship will be available to students competing from all Michigan High Schools, to establish a State Recipient. One scholarship will be available to students competing from all U.S. high schools to establish a National Recipient.
The program's concept is simple. Funds for payment of scholarships are donated by local Michigan residents, businesses and through creative neighborhood fundraisers.
Funds raised by the students benefit Accelerated Cure Project's MS Repository program.
If you are a senior-class high school student interested in participating in this program, visit www.msscholarship.org for further details and contact Rick Szczepanski at 616-791-2069 or bigvball@iserv.net to enroll.
