This is particularly true in view of the fact that college entrance examinations must be taken before the deadline date. The two annual scholarships are available to children of employees or to employees of college age. Each carries a value of $750.00 a year for four years. The winner may attend the South Carolina college of his or her choice. Full information and application blanks are available at the Personnel Office.
