Cobb Hill Construction now offering 2013 College Scholarships to local seniors

Cobb Hill Construction is once again offering scholarships to local, graduating high school seniors who have demonstrated an interest in drafting, construction, architecture, or electrical or civil engineering. Scholarships ranging from $500 - $1000 will be awarded to one or more students based on a combination of demonstrated interest, positive attitude, teacher recommendations, and financial need. To receive a scholarship, students must be accepted by a post-secondary school. Students must submit an application to their high school guidance office no later than April 20th or directly to Cobb Hill no later than May 3rd. Scholarship recipients will be notified no later than May 31st, and must come to the Cobb Hill office to receive their scholarship award. Scholarship checks will be made payable to the student's chosen school. "The college scholarships Cobb Hill awards are very important to us because they give us the opportunity to encourage bright, hard-working students to consider a career in the construction industry," said Jerry Kingwill, president of Cobb Hill. "We value education - including continuing education and training for our employees - and are so pleased that we have the ability to give back and support the academic efforts of young people in our community."
