As the end of the school year draws closer, RD Parker students will start considering applying for scholarships.

There are 40 different scholarships that have been put forward by local businesses that students have to choose from.

RD Parker counselor Paul Fricker explains the steps that he and his fellow counselors have taken so far to get the word out about the applications.

“We start to provide that information to them right from the beginning of the year. So we’d have grad assemblies earlier in the year where we’d pass on information about scholarships, as well as several other things that are relevant to the students.”

The scholarships range in value from $100 to $1,500.
