Exchange Club scholarship available

The Exchange Club of Alpena invites seniors attending Alpena High School to make application for the Stanley C. Beck Youth of the Year Scholarship.

Each year this $1,000 scholarship named in honor of Beck, a former Alpena educator, is awarded to an AHS graduating senior student as part of the Alpena Exchange Club’s Youth of the Year Scholarship Program.

The scholarship program requires students to make application, write and present an essay themed after a topic of national pride and leadership. This year’s essay theme is “Strengthening America Through Socially Responsible Communities.”

Applicant students are narrowed to six semi-finalist candidates for whom one finalist is chosen and named Alpena Exchange Club Youth of the Year. This finalist is then entered into the Michigan District Exchange Club’s Youth of the Year Scholarship Program.

At the district level, finalists are eligible for a second $1,000 scholarship award. The Michigan District Youth of the Year is then entered in the National Exchange Club’s Youth of the Year Scholarship Program and becomes eligible for a $10,000 scholarship and national recognition at the National Exchange Club’s annual convention.

Interested applicants are invited to pick up application materials from Julie Samp in the Career Resource Center at AHS. The deadline for application submission is March 19.
