SCHOLARSHIPS

It is Teen Power's goal to provide scholarships to those students who participate in the Teen Power program. (Click here for a scholarship application.) If something is going to forward you toward your dreams, we'd like to help!


Types of scholarships:
  1. Teen Power "Straighten Up" campaign. This fundraising effort's goal is to provide financial support for teens who need braces. A healthy smile bolsters self-esteem and the probability of future job attainment. Straight teeth are empowering. (A different form for Straighten Up is coming.)
  2. Teen Power "Hole Experience" scholarships. They allow YOU to experience what Jackson Hole offers. From Rock and Roll Camp, Leadership Camp, and Center for the Arts classes to karate classes, SKI PASSES, sports equipment, and school supplies, we help YOU have the "Hole Experience"!
Compliments from the community, Fall 2010:

Hi Michelle!
Thanks for the Teen Power email.  I had no idea Teen Power did so much, and I'm sure I"m not alone in that.  Way to go!

Spring of 2010:

  1. Teen Power gave scholarships to Arturo, Miguel, and Jonathan, three JHMS Colt wrestlers.  Teen Power purchased their wrestling shoes.  It was very exciting to watch their wrestling success!
  2. Teen Power gave a scholarship toNidiyare for braces.  Straight teeth will help her to feel more self-confident and achieve her dreams.
  3. Teen Power gave 5 scholarships for the Teton Science School 2010 spring break camp.  Both Teen Power and TSS hope that these students will come away from this camp more comfortable in nature and in leadership roles!

Students who receive scholarships are asked to participate in advertising for Teen Power.  If you are unwilling to pose for pictures or be included in newspaper articles, please discuss this with a Teen Power representative before accepting scholarship monies.

  2. Email them to mrooks@teton1.k12.wy.us
