MATC NAMES 2006-07 COMMUNITY SCHOLARS
Nineteen 2006 High School Graduates Win Scholarships to Study and
Serve
Nineteen 2006 graduates from 10 high schools throughout
Dane County have been selected as recipients of Madison Area Technical
College’s Community Scholarships.
Funded in 2005 by a gift
from John H. “Jack” Lussier,
Chairman of the Board of The Capital Times Co., the Community Scholarships
will make an MATC education more affordable while also developing
service-learning experiences for the recipients. Community Scholars
agree to complete a minimum of 80 hours of volunteer service each
semester. Recipients receive $1,000 per semester for one academic
year for a total of $2,000. The scholarship may be renewed at $2,500
for a second year depending on academic progress and volunteer
service hours.
The students will meet for an orientation session
in August followed by a reception with
Jack Lussier in preparation to begin their service learning experiences.
A second reflection session will take place at the end of the
2006-07 school year.
