NEWS RELEASE: SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION
 
The Kansas County Clerks’ and Election Officials’ Association is taking
scholarship applications from those students that are majoring in
Journalism, Political Science or Communications. The scholarships are
available to High School Seniors or College Freshmen or Sophomores.
The monies from these scholarships are made available by the effort
put forth by local Election Officials and Supervising Judges of the State
of Kansas. Each is asked to call a toll free telephone number and
report to the Voter News Service, specified races in the General
Election.
 
The Voters News Service collects and tabulates a single, accurate set
of election returns for broadcast and publication throughout the nation
and abroad for the Associated Press, CBS News, ABC News, NBC News
and United Press International.
 
Due to the joint efforts of the County Clerks, Secretary of State’s
Office and the Voters News Service, the Scholarship Committee will be
awarding 10 scholarships in the amount of $500.00 each.
 
Applications may be picked up at your school or at the County Clerk’s
Office and all applications must be returned to your local county clerk
or mailed to Inge Luntsford, 130 N. Spruce, Kingman, KS 67068, on or
before April 2, 2010.
 
The scholarship winners will be announced at the County Clerks’ and
Election Officials’ Association Seminar in May. The County Clerk from
the recipient’s county will award them at their local school awards
assembly.
