Emery Telcom College Scholarship 2012 Application Guidelines

Background

The Emery Telcom College Scholarship program offers $1,000 scholarship awards to high school students from Carbon and Emery Counties. The goal is to provide financial aid to students who have demonstrated strong academics, community involvement and a desire to further their education.

Because of limited funds, Emery Telcom will give priority to applicants who have not been awarded other scholarships or educational financial grants.

The scholarship money can only be used for tuition, school fees and books. It will be sent directly to the school the student is or will be attending. Money not used by the end of his/her term at the institution will be forfeited and returned to Emery Telcom with no opportunity for reclamation.
