Apply for Girls' Career Institute by March 11

HOPATCONG – Local female high school juniors are eligible to apply for a scholarship to attend the Girls' Career Institute, an annual program at Douglass College for high school Junior girls to explore women's issues. It offers a "mini college experience" on the campus of the Douglass College part of Rutgers University where delegates experience a sample of college life by living in a dorm, eating in a cafeteria, attending lectures and workshops. They learn about career choices from volunteer professional speakers and how to network with other delegates from all over the state of New Jersey.
This year’s program will be held June 6-9. Interested girls can get information from their high school guidance counselors and need to apply by March 11.
Delegates are sponsored, and the cost is underwritten by a local NJSFWC club. Delegates are selected on the basis of interest, community service and participation in school activities. \
Last year the Hopatcong Woman’s Club sponsored local student Danielle Hulstoman. For more information about the sponsorship or the club call Selma Reichert at 973-770-4989.
