Distinguished Young Women is a national program which awards scholarships for young women’s achievements. This is not a pageant, for the participants are not judged on beauty. High School Junior girls who choose to participate are evaluated on scholastics, interview skills, fitness routine, talent, and public speaking. Scholarships totally over 1.5 million dollars are awarded nationally each year. It starts at the local county level, continues to the state level in Greensboro, NC, and progresses to the national program in Mobile, Alabama where America’s DYW is selected.
The Jones/Onslow County program will be held on April 7, 2018. The requirements to participate include: Live in Jones or Onslow County, Be a Junior in High School, Never been married, Never had a child, Not pregnant.
All interested ladies and a parent should attend our first informational meeting on Sunday, Oct. 1, 2017. The location is included on the attached flyers. For more information about the program, please visit www.distinguishedyw.org.

The “best” summer opportunity awaits current high school juniors on the campus of Appalachian State University. The Martha Guy Summer Institute for Future Business Leaders (MGSI) has a solid, 13-year history of inspiring students through exploration of the business world, and we are now accepting applications for our 2017 Cohort.
Unique aspects of MGSI
· Unlike most summer opportunities, MGSI combines a residential experience with out of state travel. Following two weeks on campus at Appalachian State University, the program concludes with a week of travel to various business and cultural/entertainment sites.
· Each MGSI class is small. Twenty-four students are selected. The group size provides a much more intimate, personal experience for each participant.
· It is quite affordable considering the extensive travel, excursions and activities; tuition is $1,800 plus a meal plan fee of $350.
**Need-based scholarships are available to qualified applicants.
Which students are well suited for MGSI?
· We are seeking students who have a sincere interest in business as a college major and demonstrate leadership potential. Some candidates have an entrepreneurial spirit, or have unique or extensive part-time work experience. Also consider your most competitive students among under-represented groups and populations. Interested students should demonstrate academic achievement.
· Students who embrace and appreciate new people, opportunities and experiences are ideal for MGSI. They should also be well-prepared to be away from home and able to manage a demanding schedule.
· Application deadline is February 28th 2018
Please offer this opportunity to current juniors – only current juniors are accepted for this program.
· Please make announcements, post on your website, and include MGSI in your newsletters, and share the opportunity with teachers and club advisors who work with students described above.
· Parents want to know! Share this information with your school’s parent organizations.
· Please reach out and encourage at least one student to apply!

The camp offers special training prior to the campers arrival to set them up for success as a mentor. The campers are children of wounded or critically ill veterans.
