PROMISE SCHOLARSHIPS OFFER SECOND CHANCES - Gov. Wise Will Be In Calhoun May 8

(04/27/2002)
The Promise Scholarship bugs are being removed, according to Gov. Bob Wise, who will come to Calhoun on Wednesday, May 8 at 12:15 p.m. for Calhoun's Promise Scholarship Banquet.

High school seniors who failed to qualify because their grade point average fell shy of the 3.0 mark are getting a second chance. Students can not use grades earned in Spring 2002.

Another extension was granted to about 300 students who failed to file financial forms with their applications.

About 3,800 West Virginia students have already qualified, and the appeals board is adding about 25 more each day.

Students who have questions should contact their school counselor.
