HEARING SOCIETY SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS

The Hearing Society is pleased to announce that it is currently accepting applications to its Sarah H. McGhee and Katherine Schmidt Memorial Scholarship funds for the school year 2017-2018. These scholarships provide financial assistance to high school graduates who have documented hearing loss and have been accepted into accredited two-year colleges or vocational schools ($2,000) or four-year colleges or universities ($4,000). A special characteristic of these awards is that they are renewable for one to three years for the student providing satisfactory grades are maintained.
Application forms are available on request by contacting Mrs. P. Hanigan, Scholarship Chairperson, 1213 Wyoming Avenue, Mountainside, NJ  07092, or by phoning her at 908 232 4512 (voice). Applications must be submitted no later than May 19, 2017.
The Hearing Society is a not-for-profit organization that has served people with hearing impairments in Union County since 1932.
