Your blog has been so informational! Considering I teach 10th grade students, your blog postings have been invaluable for me in keeping them up-to-date with the latest scholarship programs and opportunties. Not to mention the fact, we are in the same area of NC. Your contributions have been so very beneficial to me and my students. Though our school has a scholarship coordinator, you have shared many opportunities that were not effectively communicated by our support staff. Thank you so much, please continue to post this valuable info to your blog, and I will continue to follow you and benefit from your postings!
