American Legion Auxiliary Maryland Girls State: June 17-22, 2018 * Salisbury University * Salisbury, Maryland 21801. ALA GIRLS STATE is a residential training program for high school girls, which is operated in all 50 states. The objective is to provide "hands on" training in the management of a democratic government at city, county and state levels. Topics such as the structure of the various levels of government, simulated legislation, twoparty politics and the duties of various government offices will be covered. The legislative program includes sessions with lobbyists. Speakers who hold offices at various levels of government throughout the state will address the group to explain their jobs and answer questions. The citizens will campaign for various offices and learn to vote electronically as part of the experience. They will also receive a preview of college life and meet peers from across the state. A Senior and Junior Senator will be elected to represent Maryland at Girls Nation where a similar program is conducted at the national level. ELIGIBLE young women must have completed their junior year of high school in the upper third of their class and must be a United States citizen or non-citizen attending school and residing in Maryland. Applicant does not have to be a junior member of the American Legion Auxiliary, but a junior member who does not live in Maryland may attend. RECRUITING is carried out with the help of school officials. In some schools an Awards Committee or Guidance Office may prescreen the candidates. However, the final decision is up to the sponsoring American Legion Auxiliary Unit. Former Girls State citizens in the senior class will be useful in identifying likely candidates and "talking up" the program. A handout to briefly explain the program has been prepared for all prospects. It may also be helpful, to hold a recruiting meeting with the Unit representative, former Girls Sate citizens and prospective candidates. SELECTION is based on interest in government and the qualities of Leadership, Character, Honesty, Scholarship and Cooperativeness. While the girls selected should have strong academic credentials, an interest in government and politics and an aptitude for leadership are of great importance. FEE: Selection for the Girl State program is equivalent to a scholarship of $290, which is borne by the sponsoring Unit. This includes tuition, books, room and board. A $45 registration fee is to be paid by each young lady selected to attend Girls State; check to be made payable to the sponsoring Unit.Click here for application. Application deadline is March 10, 2018.

Any student-athlete interested in playing at the Division 1 or 2 level must be cleared by the NCAA to participate. www.eligibilitycenter.org The student-athlete must log in using his/her NCAA ID or SSN and PIN. The Counseling office will be notified when a student registers and will send your transcript electronically to NCAA.
Net Price Calculator: The Net Price Calculator (NPC) is an online tool that provides estimates of college costs for prospective students, based on a set of inputs such as family income, size, and assets. THE NPC calculates estimated grant and scholarship aid and subtracts that total from the college's cost of attendance, resulting in an estimated net price. NPC then goes the next step and subtracts the student's estimated loans/financial aid to determine the estimated remaining cost.
For more information: https://professionals.collegeboard.org/higher-ed/financial-aid/netprice
New Website for College-bound Students with Disabilities: A new website - http://www.going-to-college.org has been developed to help high school students learn about living college life with a disability. The site provides video clips, activities, and resources that can help students get a head start in planning for college. Video interviews with college students with disabilities offer a way to hear first-hand from students with disabilities who have been successful. Modules include activities that will help students explore more about themselves, learn what to expect from college, and equip them with important considerations and tasks to complete when planning for college.

2) Print the work permit. 3) Get the work permit signed by the minor (student), parent or legal guardian and employer (work permits are only valid when signed by all parties) During the 2014 session, the Maryland General Assembly passed House Bill 467 that modified the requirements that must be met before a minor work permit can be issued. The change requires the Minor's parent or guardian to certify that the age on the minor work permit is correct rather than producing proof of age to an issuing officer. This change allows the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation to grant applicants the ability to download and print a work permit directly from the application website. The new system began July 29. Minors are no longer required to obtain their work permit from an issuing officer.

Janice M. Scott Memorial Scholarship Fund The establishment of the Janice M. Scott Memorial Scholarship Fund occurred in October 2001. This scholarship fund is named in honor of Janice Marie Scott. Why was this scholarship fund established? To recognize her involvement with various youth programs and community service activities within the Greater Metropolitan Area of Washington, DC. Janice was one of 125 individuals that perished in the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 when terrorists hijacked and crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the building of the Pentagon. She was the daughter of Geraldine Holmes of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Janice was born in Memphis, Tennessee on October 12, 1954. Shortly after her birth, Janice moved with her family from Memphis to Milwaukee. She attended public school in Milwaukee until her mid-teen years. During the late 1960’s, she and most of her family moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado where one of her older sisters was assigned as a soldier to Fort Carson near the city of Colorado Springs. She graduated in 1972 from Harrison High School. Her sister was reassigned to a military installation in West Germany soon after she graduated from high school. Janice then took on the task of caring for her younger sister and the daughter of the sister who went to West Germany. She assumed this task in conjunction with taking classes at a business college and working on Fort Carson.
In 1975, Janice met 2nd Lieutenant Abraham Scott. He was assigned to the Finance Office on Fort Carson. After a brief engagement, Abraham and Janice traveled to his hometown of Beaufort, South Carolina and they were married by his father. They were blessed with two daughters, Crystal Marie and Angel Marie. In 1988, Janice earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration from the adult school of the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland. She was a member of five organizations: Blacks-In-Government; Burke/Fairfax Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated; American Society of Military Comptrollers; the Association of Government Accountants; and the 5-Star Toastmasters Club. She was also a member of Greater Little Zion Baptist Church in Fairfax, Virginia. Click here for application. Deadline to apply is March 31, 2018.
