Area high school seniors considering a career in teaching are invited to apply for an Andrew D. Rossetti Scholarship Award. Three $2,000 scholarships will be awarded. The scholarships are named in honor of the late Andrew D. Rossetti, who devoted over 34 years of his life to the educational field, said the BOCES announcement.

Students have until April 27 to submit an application; the forms are available in high school guidance offices for component districts in the Madison-Oneida BOCES region.

The scholarships are available to students from the Camden, Canastota, Hamilton, Madison, Morrisville-Eaton, New York State School for the Deaf, Oneida, Rome, Stockbridge-Valley and Vernon-Verona-Sherrill districts, plus Rome Catholic School.

Scholarships will be awarded to students who plan to enroll in accredited teacher preparation programs. Winners will be notified by May 18. Students who would like more information should contact their school counselor.
