League of Women Voters offering scholarship
The Beaufort Chapter of the League of Women Voters (LWVB) is offering a scholarship opportunity for all high school and college students north of the Broad River.
The League challenges students to create an educational tool designed to inform Beaufort County voters about a topic pertaining to our local government. Any subject will be considered that educates the public about locally elected roles and/or responsibilities, government processes, key issues and opportunities facing our community leaders, any recent decisions/legislation impacting Beaufort citizens or the election process, in general. We encourage creativity in format, and will accept submissions in written, video or any 2D/3D design.
The League will accept entries for consideration until midnight April 15. The winner of the award, in the amount of $1,000, will be announced on May 15. Additional honorable mention award(s) of $100 each may be granted at the discretion of the judges.
For more information, visit lwvbeaufort.org. LWVB is a non-profit/non-partisan organization encouraging informed and active participation in the voting process.
