2013 All-Star Scholarship
|
Education is an important part of life. In baseball terms, it
gives you a healthy lead as you round the bases. But not everyone gets the same
opportunity for higher education. That’s why UMPS CARE Charities partnered with The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption (DTFA) and Slate XP to offer the UMPS CARE Charities All-Star Scholarship.
The UMPS CARE Charities All-Star Scholarship is for children adopted from foster care, in order to help provide a college education to students who otherwise might not be able to afford one. UMPS CARE Charities will award a total of $40,000 in scholarship funding for 2013. All-Star Scholarships are open to children adopted from U.S. foster care at the age of 12 years or older to provide increased opportunities for advanced education. Scholarship funding will provide for $5,000 scholarships for a two-year institution –OR– $10,000 scholarships for a four-year institution. Key 2013 Dates
