CARROUSEL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Through the years
Carolinas' Carrousel, Inc. has given representatives from area high schools
the opportunity to compete for numerous scholarships as well as participate
in many exciting activities, culminating in the traditional ride in the Belk
Carolinas' Carrousel Parade.
The Carolinas'
Carrousel Scholarship program is not to be considered a beauty pageant. The
program recognizes academic excellence, community involvement, character and
presentation.
Under the auspices of the Carrousel Scholarship Fund, awards include
five cash scholarships ($3,000, $2,000, $1,600, $800, and $700).
Additional grant
opportunities from various colleges and universities
may also
be presented.
Here's how the
program works:
-
Invitations are
extended in the spring to area high schools.
These invitations to participate and
information packets for the 2011 program were sent to area high schools
in April.
-
Participation is
capped at 60 High Schools.
-
Schools that
participated in the previous year have priority.
-
There is not an
"open" category of participation in this program. Representatives must
be selected by their respective school.
-
Each high school
selects one Representative to participate. Carolinas' Carrousel, Inc.
does not dictate how the school selects its representative, however we
do require that all representatives meet our basic
Conditions of Eligibility
and be selected in time to meet the Carrousel program’s deadlines (see
Carrousel Scholarship Program Schedule
Deadlines).
