Bloggers:

• Are you currently a senior in high school?
• Do you enjoying writing and public speaking?
• Do you have a lot to say about the college admissions process and would love the opportunity to voice your advice and thoughts to an auditorium full of eager listeners?
• Does inspiring current high school juniors and their families appeal to you?
• Do you want to win a $1000. scholarship to help pay for college?

Then we have a scholarship speech contest that would be perfect for you!

Every year, the Center for College Planning organizes Destination College, a college planning day geared towards high school Juniors and their families.  The speech winner helps start the morning activities with their original speech.  The event will take place on March 27, 2010 (with a back-up snow date of March 28) at Southern New Hampshire University, located in Manchester, New Hampshire.  The winner must be able to deliver their speech at that time.

The deadline for all entries is this Friday, February 5, 2010.

For more information about the speech contest rules, where to submit your speech and a link showcasing last year’s Destination College speech contest winner, please visit http://www.nhheaf.org/index.asp?page=stu_dc

Happy Writing,
