“Words to be Heard” Scholarship Contest
Edgar Snyder & Associates will hold their 2nd Annual “Words to be Heard” Scholarship contest. We are asking high school seniors in Central PA and Erie to write a proposal for a program that would effectively teach pre-teens and teenagers the consequences of underage drinking.
Two grand prize scholarships of $2,500 will be given--one to a student in the Erie area and one to a student from the Central PA area. We will also be selecting two second place winners in each market to receive $1,000 scholarships. In addition, three $500 scholarships will be given in both the Erie and Central PA region.
