Some college bound students in Maryland's 22nd legislative district
could be eligible for a scholarship offered by Maryland Sen. Paul
Pinsky (D-Prince George's). To be eligible, students must live in Sen.
Pinsky's district, which includes Hyattsville, Riverdale Park,
Unversity Park, Greenbelt, Berwyn Heights, Edmonston, Lanham, New
Carrollton, Woodlawn, Riverdale Heights and Beacon Heights.

Applicants must also plan to attend a Maryland state university or trade school.

The scholarships are awarded by a volunteer committee which reviews
applicants academics, finances and "commitment to higher education."

In 2011, Sen. Pinsky's scholarship committee awarded 80 scholarships
in amounts ranging from $500 to $2,500. Applications must be submitted
by April 5, 2012.

Pinsky's scholarship program is one of several available to residents
of the 22nd legislative district.
