TRIO ETS Buzz: Scholar Updates, Remaining July Activities, & Upcoming August Activities | Announce

ETS Summer Activities

Hello ETS Scholars, Families, and Community Members! We hope you are having a fantastic summer so far.

ETS Scholars are invited to attend any of the activities we have to offer the summer, even if they aren't earning the stipend. If you only want to attend a couple activities, that's okay!

2021 Grads are invited to all these activities as well -- including the Tips & Tricks Sessions specially made for 2021 grads.

We have a lot in today's newsletter, so please take time to read it all and sign up for what interests you.

We need updated contact information for scholars!

We will have 2 mystery basket drawings for scholars that provide updated contact information by 7/21 & 7/28.

This is an opportunity to add a 2nd parent/guardian contact if they would like to receive ETS information as well.
