2010 Foundation for Rural Service (FRS) College Scholarship Program Available

 

The Foundation for Rural Service (FRS) and Swisher Telephone Company have teamed up to offer a great scholarship opportunity. The FRS was established in 1994 and through its partnership with the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association (NTCA) promotes, educates and advocates to the public rural telecommunications issues in order to sustain and enhance the quality of life within communities throughout rural America. In keeping with its mission, furthering the education of rural youth is one of the    foundation’s primary focuses. Our company, Swisher Telephone Company, is a member of NTCA and is proud to support FRS in this worthy endeavor.

 

Following are additional important details:

 

  • Scholarships are available to graduating high school seniors only.
  • FRS will award thirty (30) $2,500 scholarships nationwide. FRS will fund $2,000 and Swisher Telephone Company will fund $500.00.
  • All applications must be postmarked to FRS no later than March 1, 2010.
  • This is not a scholarship based on grade point average. Rather, it is geared toward seniors who are good, solid students, but may not qualify for scholarship programs based solely upon GPA.
  • All completed applications must be from an existing Swisher Telephone Company customer and applications must be signed by J.R. Brumley, the CEO of Swisher Telephone Company, prior to mailing to FRS.

  • Awards will be paid upon proof of registration at an institute of higher education and will be issued in August 2010.
