The Friends of the Salina Public Library are accepting applications for the annual Friends Scholarship from library teen volunteers.  Up to three seniors who meet the required criteria will be awarded $500 – $1,500 scholarships each.

Applicants must have volunteered at the library a minimum of 30 hours the previous calendar year; must be high school seniors who have a 2.5 GPA and plan to attend an accredited school or college; and must attend their high school’s honor night.  Relatives of current Friends board members are not eligible.  Winners must give permission to the Salina Public Library to publicize the award.

Applications must be submitted with a current high school transcript, two written recommendations and an essay (minimum 250 words) stating what the Friends scholarship would mean to you. Deadline for applications is March 1.

Applications are available at www.salpublib.org under “Friends of the Library” and at the library at 301 W. Elm.  Applications must be completed and returned by the application deadline for consideration.  All finalists will be interviewed.
