This holiday season, the women’s center of this college plans a holiday card contest open to students in any of the colleges in the Alamo Community College District.
Dr. Helen Vera, coordinator of the women’s center and adult re-entry program, said Wednesday that the card must be designed by a student’s son or daughter younger than 12.
“The winner will receive a $50 gift certificate for the child and $200 scholarship for the parent,” Vera said.
Entries must be submitted to the women’s center by Thursday.
The parent can be either male or female, must be enrolled in at least six credit hours, and have a 2.0 or higher grade-point average. They must also meet the district policy of satisfactory academic progress to receive financial aid.
The drawing must be on an 8 1/2-by-5 1/2 inch sheet of white paper. Any medium can be used, such as crayons, water colors or color pencils.
The winner must sign a media release.
