HOW to APPLY:
Enrollment forms will be mailed to all students in grades 8-10. Enrollment forms will also be distributed in all English classes for Juniors & Seniors. Students attending the Coshocton County Career Center may pick up enrollment forms from Mr. Crilow or Mr. Nagle in the Guidance Office. The grant stipulates we can serve up to 60 students so if applications exceed that number a waiting list will be created.
