SET SEG Educational Foundation Awards 7 Scholarships to Michigan High Schools
More than 20 high school students will be able to attend this summer’s Michigan Association of Student Councils/Michigan Association of Honor Societies Summer Leadership Camp at Albion College, thanks to the generosity of the SET SEG Educational Foundation. The Foundation awarded a total of $5,050 in scholarship funds to seven high schools, with the amounts awarded determined by the number of students who will attend the camp. The maximum award per high school was $1,250. The cost to attend the Leadership Camp is $375 per person. Some high schools are using the scholarship dollars to supplement student contributions to the enrollment fee, while others are relying on the scholarship to pay the entire registration fee.
The following high schools received the 2008 scholarships:
High School School District
Brandon High School Brandon School District
Burt Township School Burt Township Schools
Clintondale High School Clintondale Community Schools
Fraser High School Fraser Public Schools
Garber High School Essexville-Hampton Public Schools
Manton High School Manton Consolidated Schools

The winning high schools were chosen from a competitive field of applicants. The application process required a joint letter of recommendation from the high school principal and a student council or honor society adviser. This is the Foundation’s second consecutive year of awarding scholarships, after having been formed in 2005.
Students participating in the Summer Leadership Camp, July 27 - Aug. 1, will learn life-changing leadership skills that will aid them in their academic pursuits and future endeavors. At the camp, students will attend sessions addressing leadership styles, communication, organizational skills, public speaking, team building and project planning. Participants will gain practical leadership experience working on committees and in councils. They will also benefit from a unique opportunity to interact with students from various schools in Michigan.
