I want to share an announcement about a new scholarship opportunity. The application process opens April 1, 2008.

Competitive Skills Scholarship 

The Competitive Skills Scholarship is for post-secondary education for jobs that the Maine Department of Labor has identified as being high wage occupations (above the state average of $13.76/hour) that are in demand in Maine.

The scholarship is designed to provide financial assistance and support services to qualified full or part-time students in Associate or Bachelors degree programs. The program is likely to cover degree programs like Mental Health, Business Administration, Nursing and other health science careers, and many other career related degrees.

You may qualify if you:
*	Live in Maine
*	Are at least 18 years of age
*	Are legally eligible to work in the U.S.
*	Are applying for education for a job in a high wage, high growth occupation
*	Have an income of less than 200% of the federal poverty level for family size

There is a limited pool of funding for this program. If you are interested, immediately contact the Bath CareerCenter (442-0300 or 1-888-836-3355) for details about the program and the application process.
