The WSRT Education Committee offers several scholarships and grants each year to students and technologists continuing their education. These include a student paper and exhibit competition as well as the Student Bowl competition each year at the Annual Conference. Two $300 student grants are also available as well as two $300 Mickey Patch Scholarships to R.T.'s continuing their education.
       Hopefully we'll have more of you competing next year. The prize money for the paper competition is the same amount in the technologist category. Updated applications will be sent to each student technologist program when they are ready. We have created guidlines for the exhibit competition as well which also has separate student and technologist categories.
       The Education Committee is also soliciting questions throughout the year for the next Student Bowl Competition. If you have a topic and/or question that you think the students should get quizzed on, please write to - smason@mail.lcc.whecn.edu.
