URA SCHOLARSHIPS REQUIRE SAT TEST

Universities Research Association (URA) scholarships are awarded on the basis of SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) scores. High-school seniors are reminded to sign up for a fall testing date if they have not already taken the test.

URA awards a number of scholarships to regular, full-time employeesí children who are currently high school seniors and who will begin a four-year college degree program the next fall. The maximum amount of the scholarship is $3,000 for tuition and fees and is renewable for four years if the student is in good standing. Scholarship applications will be available after the first of the year and are due March 1, 2000.
