Town of Carrabassett Valley Scholarship Fund Dear Student and/or Student Families: Each year the Town of Carrabassett Valley awards college scholarships from the Town's Scholarship Fund to eligible resident students. Please note there is a five-year residency requirement. The purpose of this letter is to remind current recipients of this scholarship and to inform graduating High School students of the May 1st deadline for applying for this scholarship for next school year (current recipients must reapply each year). Please find enclosed the scholarship requirements and an application form for this purpose. A copy of this application can also be obtained by clicking this link from the Town's website at scholarship application (or let us know and we can e-mail you a copy). Please read carefully all of the requirements. The deadline to submit all of the necessary information (including all written references) to be considered for a scholarship next year is May lst, 2010. Please note that the application requires three written recommendations (two scholastic and one non-scholastic non-relative). All letters of recommendation must have been written within the previous 12 months. We will accept e-mail recommendations. However, these must be produced on some form of official (University) email and be emailed "signed" by the individual providing the email these may be sent to: towncvtm@roadrunner.com . In the past, we have found that, for a variety or reasons, students have had difficulty obtaining these recommendations prior to May 1st. Applicants are advised to seek more than three recommendations and to seek them early in order to meet the May 1st deadline. Please send the recommendations and the application form to: Carrabassett Valley Scholarship Committee, Town Office, 1001 Carriage Road, Carrabassett Valley, ME. 04947. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at the Town Office (207-235-2645) or e-mail me at: towncvtm@roadrunner.com. . The Town's Scholarship Committee will meet shortly after the May 1st application deadline and announce the scholarship recipients for next year. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. Sincerely, David E. Cota Town Manager
