State of Vermont’s Next Generation Scholarships for Residents

Millions of New Funding Available This Year

Gov. Jim Douglas and the state legislature have set aside money with one goal in mind: Keeping young workers inside the state.

This is a necessary step since the baby boomer generation in Vermont is going to require extra assistance because of increased health costs, and the burden will fall on the shoulders of working taxpayers.

The University of Vermont, Vermont Student Assistance Corp. and the Vermont State Colleges have all received part of the Next Generation Scholarship money.

Are You Eligible?

You must be a Vermont resident. There are then two ways you can receive an award:

1. Apply directly with UVM or any Vermont State College application. The first awards were given out without the recipients having to apply specifically for the award. However, next year may change due to possible changes in legislation.
2. If you had no family financial contribution and you are a first year student, you may be the right candidate for a $1000 award. 400 of them are being awarded by the Vermont Student Assistance Corp.

Fundraising Events for Culinary Arts Memorial Scholarship

Tragedy and Hope

The scholarships will be awarded to students attending Johnson & Wales Culinary Arts University. They have 4 campuses total located in 4 different states.

The memory of Valerie L. Oransky is being honored by this award. Tragedy is unfortunately behind all this:

Culinary arts was a passion for Ms. Oransky, the 39-year-old general manager of Old Country Buffet in Dartmouth who was killed July 22, 2006. Police said a coworker stabbed her in the restaurant’s bathroom while they were preparing for breakfast.

We wish them well in their fundraising efforts on September 22nd which will include:

• A Golf Tournament
• Dinner
• Entertainment
• Raffles
• A Silent Auction

For more information on the fundraiser and the Valerie L. Oransky Foundation, call Mr. King at (774) 213-5778 or send donations to HarborOne Bank, 68 E. Grove St., Middleboro, MA 02346.
