In July, high school students from throughout the state will attend a highly acclaimed camp that helps them develop their leadership potential. Unfortunately, many schools do not have the funds to help their students attend this life-enhancing camp. And, many eligible students cannot pay their own way. For the second consecutive year, the SET SEG Educational Foundation will provide financial assistance via scholarships to high schools whose students wish to attend the Michigan Association of Student Councils/Michigan Association of Honor Societies (MASC/MAHS) Summer Leadership Camp at Albion College, July 27- Aug. 1.

The MASC/MAHS Leadership Camp enables students to participate in interactive, experiential activities with students from schools throughout Michigan. The activities teach important leadership skills that will aid participants in their future endeavors. Through its scholarship program, the Foundation will award a total of $5,000 in funds, up to a maximum of $1,250 per high school. Winning high schools will be presented with a check from the Foundation during the districts’ board of education meetings. Recipients of the 2007 scholarships were:

• Avondale High School;
• Fitzgerald High School;
• Hanover-Horton High School;
• Houghton High School; and
• Parchment High School.

The Foundation is accepting scholarship applications through April 7. Application materials were mailed to superintendents and board presidents at all Michigan school districts in early February. Application materials are also available online by visiting the Web site: www.setseg.org, and selecting Foundation, Scholarship Application.
