To the editor: It’s not too late! There’s still time to apply! The Women’s College Scholarship Club is giving four Continuing Education Scholarships of $1,000 each to students wishing to change or enhance their careers. Applicants must be from Franklin or Essex County and returning to school after a break of at least one year. The deadline is Friday, May 14. Applicants must have a high school diploma or GED. Part-time students may apply. You can receive an application by emailing Continuing Education Committee Chair Ginny Bartlett at ginnybillbart@netscape.net. Applications are also available at the Financial Aid Office at North Country Community College, the Financial Aid Office at Paul Smith’s College and the Saranac Lake Free Library.
To the editor: The Women’s College Scholarship Club is always appreciative of the support we get from our local businesses.

There were five winners of local gift certificates. During this time of COVID restrictions, raising community awareness of our purpose, awarding scholarships to graduating high school students and students continuing their education later in life, is difficult.
