Win $2,000 For College From SLEMCO
SLEMCO customers take note! If you, your spouse or your dependent child
or legal ward will be attending a Louisiana public university this fall, this
information is for you. “SLEMCO will give away 20 scholarships
worth $2,000 each, by random drawing at our Annual Membership Meeting which
will be held at the Lafayette Cajundome on Saturday, June 4th,” said
Director of Governmental Affairs, George Fawcett. “It couldn’t
be easier to win.”
The deadline for entering the 2005 SLEMCO Scholarship drawing
is Thursday, May 5, 2005. Sponsoring SLEMCO customers must
be present to win but the applicants themselves do not have to
attend unless the sponsor is also the applicant.
Students must be at least a senior in high school to enter.
Continuing college students and those going back to school to
earn an undergraduate degree are also able to apply if they have
a 2.0 cumulative GPA or a “C” average from their
high school.
Applications will be mailed out in every SLEMCO bill during
February, March and April. Applications can also be obtained
on the company website—www.slemco.com. Winners
must use the scholarship funds to attend a Louisiana public university
this fall and during the spring of 2006 on a full-time basis
while working toward an undergraduate degree. Technical
colleges do not qualify for the program.
Parents can only sponsor children who are still legal dependents.
Grandparents cannot sponsor their grandchildren. If a family
has more than one eligible child, each child can enter the drawing
but only one family member can win per year. Once a student
has won a SLEMCO scholarship, he/she cannot enter the drawing
again.
Questions concerning the scholarship program can be directed
to SLEMCO at 337-896-5384.
