Mat-Su Sertoma Club is pleased to announce they are offering one full scholarship to attend a 2018 Summer Camp that provides programs to deaf or hard of hearing youth.
The Summer Camp Scholarship is for any Alaskan deaf or hard of hearing student, ages 13 to 18. The successful winner and Sertoma will determine the location. The Club covers the cost of the camp session and airfare. Alyssa Akers, the 2017 summer camp winner, traveled to Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. and participated in “Discover Your Future” program with an added bonus of a trip to Six Flags!
To be eligible for this scholarship, a deaf or hard of hearing student must submit an essay of 500 words or less on the topic – “What is important about your identity as a deaf or hard of hearing person in a diverse world?”
Essays are due by November 10, 2017 and should be mailed to the Mat Su Sertoma Club, 189 East Nelson Avenue #109, Wasilla, AK 99654. The successful winner will be announced by Thanksgiving.
