-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
THE SEVENTH-ANNUAL "HOOD MILK SPORTSMANSHIP
SCHOLARSHIP"-PROGRAM IS NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS. AND, WORLD-CHAMPION GYMNAST,
ALY RAISMAN [AS IN "RAYS" OR "RAZE"], IS HELPING TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THIS
YEAR'S SCHOLARSHIP-OPPORTUNITY...
(RAISMAN):
"GIVING BACK TO THE
COMMUNITY--AND DISPLAYING GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP--ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.
AS AN OLYMPIC-GYMNAST, I CERTAINLY STRIVE TO WIN--BUT COMPETING WITH BOTH INTEGRITY AND RESPECT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT.
AND, LIKE MOST NEW-ENGLANDERS, I GREW UP DRINKING 'HOOD MILK': THAT'S WHY
I'M SO EXCITED TO BE WORKING WITH THIS YEAR'S 'HOOD MILK SPORTSMANSHIP
SCHOLARSHIP'-PROGRAM. I ENCOURAGE NEW-ENGLAND HIGH-SCHOOL SENIORS TO APPLY FOR A CHANCE TO RECEIVE A FIVE-THOUSAND-DOLLAR SCHOLARSHIP, TO FURTHER THEIR EDUCATION AT A TWO- OR FOUR-YEAR ACCREDITED-COLLEGE OR -UNIVERSITY."
(BRIDGE):
WHO'S ELIGIBLE TO APPLY?
(RAISMAN):
"STUDENTS MUST PARTICIPATE IN A RECOGNIZED, VARSITY HIGH-SCHOOL SPORT, HAVE A G-P-A OF AT LEAST THREE-POINT-ZERO, PERFORM VOLUNTEER-WORK, AND PROVE THEIR ABILITY TO DISPLAY SPORTSMANSHIP AND
INTEGRITY--ON AND OFF THE FIELD--BY WRITING A SHORT ESSAY."
(BRIDGE):
HOW ARE THE WINNING STUDENTS CHOSEN?
(RAISMAN):
"THE PUBLIC IS ASKED TO VOTE FOR THEIR FAVORITE ELIGIBLE-APPLICANTS,
ONLINE--WITH THE TOP-10 FINALISTS, FROM EACH OF THE SIX NEW-ENGLAND STATES, INTERVIEWED BY A PANEL OF JUDGES.
THREE STUDENTS ARE THEN CHOSEN, FROM EACH STATE, TO RECEIVE A FIVE-THOUSAND-DOLLAR SCHOLARSHIP.
I'M PROUD TO HELP CELEBRATE STUDENTS WHO ARE MAKING POSITIVE IMPACTS ON THEIR
COMMUNITIES--AND I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO APPLY."
