**Scholarship Details:**
The Belmont City Press Senior Scholarship is designed to empower rising high school seniors to channel their creativity, hone their writing skills, and achieve the remarkable feat of becoming a published author. At Belmont City Press, we are excited to embark on this journey with nominated students, dedicated educators, and supportive adults. Our collaborative efforts will not only produce published works but also empower these young writers as they transition into their bright futures.
1. **Nomination and Sponsorship:** Students must be nominated and "sponsored" by an adult figure such as a teacher, guidance counselor, coach, or any responsible adult. This partnership is crucial for facilitating engagement and obtaining appropriate permissions from the student's guardians.
2. **Participation in Online Program:** Students should be ready and willing to participate in our online program (My Journey My Story), where they will collaborate with us in shaping their stories into published works.
3. **Contact Information and Permissions:** The nominating adult should provide their name and contact information in the nomination form. Given that we'll be interacting with minors, ensuring proper permissions is paramount to our engagement process.
4. **Student Essay on Aspiring Authorship:** At the time of nomination, nominating adults can secure a 50-word essay from the student, wherein the student expresses what being a published author would mean to them.
5. **Eligibility Criteria:** This scholarship opportunity is intended for RISING seniors nearing the end of their junior year of high school. Our primary aim is to equip students with a unique advantage on their college applications. However, current seniors may also be nominated if being a published author aligns with their future plans. In such cases, the student's essay should outline how the publication will contribute to their next chapter beyond high school.
**Benefits of the Scholarship:**
1. **Publication Opportunity:** Recipients of the Belmont City Press Senior Scholarship will have their original works published in a collection curated by our experienced editorial team.
2. **College Application Advantage:** In the increasingly competitive landscape of college applications, being a published author can help an applicant stand out.

This mentorship will offer valuable insights into the writing and publishing process, helping students refine their work to meet the highest standards.
4. **Networking Opportunities:** The scholarship will also connect students with fellow scholarship recipients, established authors, and industry professionals. This networking platform will foster meaningful connections that can shape their writing careers and open doors to future opportunities.
**Application Process:**
Nominating adults are encouraged to apply at BelmontCityPressScholarships.com and share with us how your rising high school senior has a passion for writing and storytelling. There is no cost to nominate a student and there is no cost to the student for the mentorship and publication of their story.
