Opportunities For The Youth

Looking for something to do this summer or scholarships for college. Look below for some great opportunities.

Summer Health Science Institute and Automotive Technology Institute

Trezevant Career & Technology Center is announcing that we will soon be accepting applications for our Summer Health Science Institute and Automotive Technology Institute. It is a FREE summer program that offers high school credit. We generally fill up the classes so it is important that students reserve their place. Past summer programs have been great fun and offer students advanced high school preparation, weekly field trips, and exposure to the most interesting and influential professionals in the respective fields. And it is FREE.

All students and a parent must attend one of three orientation sessions where registration will be completed. Classes begin on June 2 and will be finalized on July 1, 2008. The class day is from 7:45 AM to 2:30 PM and includes meals and snacks. Attendance is mandatory! Credits will be posted with summer grades at the end of the summer.

Health Science Education is for "B" average rising 9th grade students who express an interest in a Health or Medical related field. Older grade students will be considered once all rising 9th grade applicants have been processed. No exceptions on the GPA.

For more information, contact Trezevant Career & Technology Center at 901.416.3800.

2008 Tylenol Scholarship

Feel better about your tuition.

We know that dedicating yourself to healthcare is no small commitment. Taking years of hard work and sacrifice. That's why the makers of TYLENOL are once again proud to offer the TYLENOL Scholarship program—now in its 16th year. This year, up to $350,000 in scholarships will be awarded to our future doctors, nurses and other health professionals. Because we think the people who help us feel better, deserve to feel better, too.

No purchase necessary.

How the scholarship works.

$250,000 has already been put aside and donated to the fund. Then for every TYLENOL Scholarship coupon redeemed, an additional $0.25 will be donated to the fund—up to $100,000, for a grand total of $350,000. (Use of the coupon by residents in MA, ME, IL, WV, OK, SC, and AL will not result in a $0.25 donation to the TYLENOL Scholarship Fund.)

How the scholarship is awarded.

170 students will be granted scholarships in the amounts of $1000 and $5000
Applicants will be judged on leadership qualities and academic performance
Applications must be received by May 15th, 2008. Winners selected by the end of July 2008. Funds delivered by the end of August 2008.

If you are or know a healthcare student, take a moment to apply for the 2008 TYLENOL Scholarship. Because you deserve to feel better, too. Remember, applications are due by May 15th 2008.
