The Freedom Area Citizens' Council is proud and honored to announce the establishment of the FACC Scholarship Program. The scholarship will be awarded to one senior from each South Carroll area high school. The FACC Board recently voted to, specifically, +award seniors graduating from Liberty High School and South Carroll High School in 2002 and 2003, and add Century High School to the program in 2004. For the year 2002, each FACC Scholarship will be given in the amount of $ 250 and shall be payable directly to a college, university, junior college or community college. The scholarship will be awarded to a student intending to major in journalism or political science.

FACC has had a presence in the South Carroll area for over three years to inform local citizens of various local and county issues of interest. FACC is committed to playing a positive role in our community. The organization has made many donations in the past and will continue to give back to the community in the way of donations when an opportunity arises.

To establish a scholarship program has been a goal of the FACC organization. Pam Seiter, FACC Treasurer for over 2 years and newly appointed Chairperson of the Scholarship Program, made the commitment to put FACC in the position to make this possible. "This is an ideal way to make a contribution to the community and recognize that there are hard-working, talented young people who deserve our recognition,"
stated Ms. Seiter.

The FACC Scholarship applications and guidelines may now be obtained through a counselor at the high schools or by requesting in writing to the FACC, P.O. Box 142, Sykesville, MD 21784.

The deadline for the application and all required documentation must be returned by April 15, 2002 to FACC Scholarship Chairperson, P.O. 142, Sykesville, MD 21784.

The awards will be made to the seniors at their school's Senior Awards Ceremony.
