We are seeking student recommendations for the submission of the All-USA scholarship application.

In selecting nominees to represent our institution, we ask you to consider students with outstanding academic rigor and grade point averages; participation in honors programs; awards, honors, and recognition for academic achievement, and service to the college and community.

Advice or hints in selecting students for nomination: http://www.ptk.org/become-a-member/scholarships/academic-teams/advice-to-nominators.

Please ask applicable students to email Amanda West at awest@highlands.edu to gain the enrollment code necessary to open the scholarship application. The application deadline is November 12, 2013.

The collaboration of USA TODAY, Follett Higher Education Group, the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, The Coca-Cola Foundation, AACC and Phi Theta Kappa will lead to students being featured in an April issue of USA TODAY and the awarding of nearly $350,000 in scholarships to outstanding community college students. We have the opportunity to nominate up to four students to participate in this competition, and our college has the opportunity to receive national press recognition should one of our nominees be identified as a scholar.

Thank you for your help!
