Three lucky college-bound Newcastle teens will be awarded $1,000 in scholarship funds, thanks to proceeds raised from the 2013 Newcastle Days 5K Run/Walk.

Scholarship applications are now available. Obtain application materials by emailing a request to patricia@newcastledentistry.com.

To qualify for the scholarship, students must be high school seniors and live in Newcastle or attend Hazen or Liberty high schools.

Finalists are selected based on grade point average, college admission test score, financial need, a personal essay, and their school and community involvement.
