NORTH CONWAY — Settlers’ Green Outlet Village is seeking applicants for its annual college scholarship award. 2008 graduates of Kennett High School and Fryeburg Academy who are employees of Settlers’ Green or are the son or daughter of an employee are encouraged to apply to their respective guidance offices for the $1,000 scholar- ships. Settlers’ Green Outlet Village is a popular choice for teenage job seekers in the Mt. Washington Valley. With approximately 600 employees at 60 stores, Settlers’ Green offers hundreds of first-time job opportunities for Valley teens at a variety of fashion and home outlets. Many stores offer flexible hours, competitive starting pay and an employ- ee discount to their teen employees. “The teen employees and shoppers at Settlers’ Green bring a youthful energy that makes the center a fun place to shop and work,” said Dot Seybold, gen- eral manager of OVP Management Inc. “We would like all of the students working at the shopping center to have the opportunity to pursue a college edu- cation, and we hope that this award will help in that effort,” Seybold said. Preference for the scholarship award will be given to 2008 graduating seniors who have worked at the shopping center during the last year of their high school career or who have a parent currently working in the shopping center. The award will be based on merit and need. Students will be selected by the guid- ance department scholarship award committee and the award can be used for any college, technical or trade school. Applications are available from the guidance departments at Kennett High School and Fryeburg Academy. More information is available by calling Seybold at 356-7031. ▲
