The Pikes Peak Post scholarship program for 2010 is underway. An announcement of the program was sent to all area high schools in November and applications for the scholarships are due by 19 Feb 2010. The scholarship opportunity is open to any student who plans to pursue an engineering degree and either is interested in pursuing a military career or has at least one family member (sibling, parent, or grandparent) who is either: (1) An active SAME member, (2) A current member of the U.S. military, or (3) Retired from the U.S. military. Applicants must be high school seniors expecting to enroll in college for the 2010-2011 school year or returning college sophomores, juniors, or seniors enrolled in a college or university for the 2009-2010 academic year. A copy of the scholarship application can be found here. In 2000, a total of $10,000 was awarded to six deserving students in amounts of either $1,000 or $2,000.
