LETTER TO FUTURE COLLEGE STUDENT

Dear Future College Student,

A College Education is an incredible investment. In fact, according to our one senator said;

Education is our future. "The most important component in economic development and the key to prosperity in today's highly competitive global economy is a well-educated, technically skilled workforce producing high value-added, knowledge intensive goods and services".

College graduates earn as much income as high school graduates over a lifetime. Financial aid in the form of non-traditional scholarship, can make it possible for you to go to College even if your family cannot afford the full cost of tuition, board and lodging, and transport cost.

The scholarship application and selection process requires a lot of research and hardwork. This project provides a great starting point, and focuses on scholarship available to Gigaquitnons who are less fortunate.

Interested students shall directly contact the GCC members for the application form. You can also inquire through our website www.gigaquitonline.com/gcc_scholarship.

Sincerely yours,

Education Committee
