The Khmer Parents Association is seeking applicants from the Class of 2010 for a series of college scholarships it will be awarding at the end of the school year.

To be eligible, the student must be a child with at least one parent who is a Southeast Asian refugee from Cambodia, Vietnam or Laos.

Interested students can obtain an application from their school scholarship counselors or career centers. Applications must be postmarked by Saturday, April 24.
The award-winners will be notified by mail. Friends and families of the award-winners are invited to the Scholarship Award and Graduation Celebration at St. Mary Medical Center.
