[Ncabs] City of Raleigh Scholarship Program

[Alan A. Chase]

The Raleigh Mayor’s Committee for Persons with Disabilities has funding
from the City of Raleigh to award two scholarships for $1000 each to assist
persons with documented disabilities in their pursuit of academic and
vocational endeavors.



The academic scholarship is to be awarded to a person with a disability who
is pursuing an educational goal.  This scholarship is designed to assist
with tuition, books, fees, and/or special equipment for undergraduate
course work from an accredited institution.



The vocational scholarship is to assist an individual with a disability to
pursue a vocational education.  This money may be applied to the purchase
of items such as tools, special equipment or tuition and fees to enhance
and sustain employment opportunities.



Applicants must be *residents *of the city of Raleigh and must be enrolled
in or have been accepted to an accredited undergraduate post secondary
school, college, trade school or other institution of higher learning.



The selection of scholarship recipients shall be based upon academic
performance, financial need, character, school, work and community
activities, honors, ability to express him/herself in written form,
personal motivation and/or leadership potential.



The Scholarship Application must be received by The Raleigh Mayor’s
Committee at the address below by *May 29, 2015*.  Scholarship recipients
will be recognized at the July Raleigh Mayor’s Committee meeting.



This program will provide an investment in the capability of our disability
community at large.



The application is attached.
