Dear Clinton County Senior:<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Clinton County Republican Party (CCRP) knows that the future of our country rests in the hands of young adults such as you. We also believe participation in the political process is a right that is essential to our country&rsquo;s continued success. <br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; With that in mind we are again offering three scholarships. For 2013 the scholarship awards will be $1000 for the first place winner, $750 for the second place winner, and $500 for the third place winner. Any graduating high school and/or home schooled senior who will be attending a college, university, or trade school beginning the fall semester of 2014 will be eligible to submit their application and essay. The scholarships will be available to all senior high school students residing in Clinton County.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Applications for the scholarship should be filled out and an essay written based on the subject matter described in the application. Upon completion please return the completed application and essay to Michael Wagner, 7727 East Ridge Road, Elsie, MI 48831 by April 5, 2014. Your application and essay can also be scanned and placed into a MicroSoft Word file along with an electronic version of your submitted essay and e-mailed to michael.wagner@baker.edu.<br />

</a> <br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The CCRP scholarship committee will review the submitted applications and essays and determine who the scholarship recipients will be for 2014. Scholarship winners will be notified approximately two weeks after the submission deadline. It is the intent of the CCRP to have a representative from the party present the scholarships at your school&rsquo;s award ceremony. The scholarship recipients and their parents will also be invited to one of the CCRP&rsquo;s events where we have had featured speakers in the past such as Congressman Mike Rogers. <br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Additionally the essays of the winning scholarship recipients will be posted on the CCRP website through February 2015.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We look forward to receiving your application and essay and hope you take advantage of this opportunity.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sincerely,<br />
