Hello, I sent a note out about this earlier, but I forgot and sent it from our
chapter email address. So here it is again with a dropbox link to download the
application. This will make it easier to give the information out. Here is the
link first and then the note I sent out earlier.
Hello, Here is a dropbox link to use to download the information Mike Gravitt
provided for the convention scholarship application for students. I will leave
it in my dropbox until the deadline. That will make it easier to distribute.

I made it an RTF document so everyone could access it.
Thanks.
Hello, As a member of the PCB membership committee, I was just asked to serve
on the PCB scholarship committee to give students who want to attend the PCB
convention some help with costs. If you know any students or any schools where
you could give this to the disabled student services, would you please help get
this out? I am going to try to get it to the Penn State DuBois campus and
Clarion University. I also sent it to a vocational counselor I have contact
information for in the Erie office of BBVS. We want to try to attract new
members, and this year, the membership committee is focusing on students. Thank
you, if you can help. There will be 4 people on the selection committee, two
from the PCB board and two from the membership committee. Following is the
information Mike Gravitt sent out.

Thanks
