Do you need help paying for college? Thousands of dollars are available in the form of scholarships and grants. You can succeed in getting the funding you need. Betsyann Wilson, executive director of NPC Friends and Family, will explain how.

The key is to know how to find these opportunities and to be able to provide a powerful essay supporting your need for assistance. Wilson will be offering a free essay and scholarship search workshop on Friday, February 21, from 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m. She will be utilizing Northland Pioneer College’s interactive instructional network to reach out to all nine communities served by the college (Show Low, Snowflake/Taylor, Holbrook, Winslow, Kayenta, Hopi, St. Johns, Springerville/Eagar and Whiteriver).

“I will be sharing how you can present yourself as the worthiest candidate for a scholarship award,” explains Wilson. “It is crucial to know what review committees are looking for in a scholarship application. You need to know how to express yourself and demonstrate both your need and your resourcefulness and capability through a well-written essay. There are literally thousands of companies and organizations offering scholarships to help you pay for your education,” Wilson continues. “I’ll show you how to find ones in your area of interest, as well as explain which ones you should avoid, such as those requiring you to pay a fee to submit your application. I want you to avoid debt as much as possible and look at student loans only as a last resort!”

Wilson will also highlight the scholarships funded through her nonprofit organization and those offered by NPC for new and continuing students this upcoming fall semester. Additionally, she will explain to students how to conduct a scholarship search on NPC’s website, www.npc.edu/scholarships.

The workshop will be broadcast in the Connected Classrooms at all NPC locations and is free to current and potential NPC students, including high school seniors and their parents. There is no need to register. Just go to an NPC campus or center to be directed to the appropriate classroom. To find an NPC location nearest you, visit www.npc.edu/locations for addresses, phone numbers and maps.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.  Jan. 3, 2020 – Barrett-Jackson, The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions, will roll out the red-carpet when celebrity-owned collector vehicles cross the block during the 49th Annual Scottsdale Auction, January 11-19, 2020. From Hollywood actors and business tycoons to a best-selling author and rock-and-roll legend, the Scottsdale Auction will give guests the chance to bid on a vehicle owned by world-famous stars.

“Barrett-Jackson is proud to offer one of our most diverse dockets of celebrity-owned vehicles during our 2020 Scottsdale Auction,” said Craig Jackson chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “Vehicles that have been owned by renowned actors, musicians and authors, as well as some of the most talented professional athletes, are destined to bring some real star power to our auction block. From the prominent collection of the late actor Paul Walker, special-order vehicles owned by all-star athletes and two vehicles from the personal collection of international TV personality Simon Cowell, our Scottsdale Auction will give you the chance to take home the ultimate celebrity souvenir.”

Owned by record producer, talent scout and judge on TV’s “American Idol” and “America’s Got Talent,” two vehicles owned by Simon Cowell will cross the block in Scottsdale. Lot #1301.2 is a beautiful, triple-black 2009 Bentley Azure Convertible that has only 1,759 actual miles. Also being auctioned from Cowell’s personal collection is this triple-black 1977 Ford Bronco custom SUV (Lot #1025.3), which is powered by a Ford small-block V8 engine with an automatic transmission.

The drummer in the rock band Blink-182, Travis Barker, is selling three vehicles from his personal collection, including a 1960 Cadillac Coupe de Ville Custom Hardtop (Lot #791.2). This custom Caddy features a chopped roof, shaved door handles and is powered by a 454ci V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission.
