Attention high school seniors: The Second Hand Rose Thrift Shop is pleased to announce that it will award more than $25,000 to eligible students for 2010-2011 college tuition.

To be considered for a scholarship, you must submit your application by February 18, 2010.

“We are encouraging all high school seniors and their parents in the peninsula to go to the website and apply for a scholarship. We know there are so many outstanding high school seniors in the USFK community and we want to get the word out that we have funds available to help them, says Ella Catineau, Second Hand Rose Thrift Shop Association President.

“The Thrift Shop has long been a valued part of our community and this is one of the many ways in which they make a direct impact on our USFK families – by helping a deserving student attend college,” states Beth Anne Hall, Second Hand Rose Thrift Shop Association Board Member and wife of Yongsan Garrison Commander Colonel David W. Hall

The Second Hand Rose Thrift Shop is a volunteer organization which last year raised more than $200,000 for USFK programs, Korean charities and college scholarships.  [IMCOM]
