_________________________________________________________________ GUIDANCE COUNSELOR LETTER: Greetings NY City (Manhattan) High School Guidance Counselors and College Coaches, RE: NYCORP 20XX College Scholarship Fund To: New York City High School Guidance Counselors On behalf of the New York Council of Relocation Professionals Corp (NYCORP), we would like to make you aware of a scholarship opportunity for local New York City High School seniors. Please see the scholarship link for information about this program: http://NYCORP.org/scholarship/ All application documents are located on the NYCORP Scholarship Application Link page. http://NYCORP.org/scholarship-form/ NYCORP is a non-profit organization that brings together NY and regional corporations and relocation service providers for the primary purpose of providing educational information and current industry updates to its members about the relocation industry. NYCORP recognizes that successful relocations are those that help build talent for corporations, government entities, and non-profit organizations. In addition, these mission-critical transfers enhance the careers of their employees, and also provide growth and added value to the families involved in moving. Understanding that High School students, when relocated, are faced with giving up the comforts of their homes, established friendships, involvement with school and community activities. This is compounded by their entry into a new world where they must create and develop new lifestyles, as well as handle numerous unexpected challenges. While often difficult, we have found that this time can also be inspirational and provide life learning lessons. Whatever the impact, we know that each relocating student has a very special story, unique to their own experiences and stories that we feel need to be told! Therefore, NYCORP will award scholarships to college-bound high school seniors who have relocated to NYC during their High School years. Our goal is to award as many scholarships as possible. Since 2014, we have awarded more than$15,000 in college Scholarships. Students should have moved between 9th (after 8th-grade graduation) and 12th grade. The award will be sent to the college that the student will be attending to assist with tuition, etc. In addition, if timetables allow, NYCORP may apply to the national organization Worldwide ERC Foundation for Workforce Mobility for additional scholarship funds. If successful, these funds may be applied in varying amounts to one of the NYCORP scholarship recipients.
NYCORP will select scholarship winners based on the strength of their total package. The student will be evaluated on academic performance, extra-curricular activities, and on their response to an essay addressing the way they handled the challenges associated with relocating to a new area and a new High School. Regardless of whether the student receives the reward, ALL students will be considered winners and ALL stories will become an important addition to the NYCORP story collection, entitled “Moving to the Big Apple…. Challenges, Lessons Learned, and Personal Paths of Excellence” We look for your assistance please with the following items: 1) Eligible High School seniors can apply based on the criteria that they have: a. Relocated more than 50 miles and changed schools due to a relocation, and b. Have maintained a current cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or above on a 4.0 scale (or equivalent achievement on a different scale). 2) Academic transcripts, should accompany the senior’s application. 3) Students should double-check to make sure their online submissions are complete and accurate with the required Application, Essay, Transcripts, Consent Form, and Online Questionnaire. 4) Making eligible students aware of this scholarship opportunity and encouraging their participation. Please post the scholarship application on your website or in your newsletter to seniors.

Thanks and Best Regards, NYCORP College Scholarship Fund Committee [email protected] ___________________________________________________________The goal of the NYCORP Scholarship Committee is to award multiple college scholarships for deserving NY high school seniors that meet certain criteria and requirements. NYCORP recognizes that successful relocations are those that not only help build talent for corporations, and/or enhance the careers of their employees, but also those that provide growth and added value to the families involved in moving. High School students, when relocated, are faced with giving up the comforts of their homes, established friendships, involvement with school and community activities and then forced into a new world where they must create and develop new lifestyles as well as handle numerous unexpected challenges. While often difficult, we have found that this time can also be inspirational and provide life-learning lessons. Whatever the impact, we know that each relocating student has a very special story, unique to his or her own experiences. These stories need to be told! Therefore, NYCORP will award a specific amount annually as determined by fundraising capabilities as a scholarship to college-bound high school seniors who have relocated into one of our member’s service areas or have been relocated anywhere in the world by one of our qualified corporate members. We hope that you will join us in supporting the fund. ____________________________________ NYCORP Scholars Alumni Network FOR ALL PAST APPLICANTS IN PRIOR YEARS Congratulations!
