College Scholarships for Prince George's County Students
            Students who reside in the 22nd Legislative District and are planning to attend an in-state Maryland University or trade school are encouraged to apply for a Senatorial Scholarship from the office of state Senator Paul G. Pinsky.
            The scholarships are awarded annually to deserving undergraduate and graduate students.  A volunteer committee of community members makes selections after reviewing academic achievement, financial need, and commitment to higher education.  Most scholarships are awarded for four years or until the recipient completes his or her degree, whichever comes first.
            The 22nd Legislative District includes Berwyn Heights, Edmonston, Greenbelt, Hyattsville, Lanham, New Carrollton, Woodlawn, Riverdale Park, Riverdale Heights, Beacon Heights, and University Park.
            Applications are available online at: http://www.senatorpinsky.org/ or from Senator Pinsky’s office at (301) 858-3155.  All applicants must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as part of their application.
            Completed applications must be submitted to Senator Pinsky's office no later than April 10, 2008.
