TAPP co-adviser Mary Anne Bernal said the scholarship is to encourage students seeking education careers and offers students a chance to win cash to put toward that education.

TAPP wants students to recognize their commitment and achievement. The winner will be announced Oct. 27, but a time and place have not been determined. For news of the announcement, visit http://tappatsac.blogspot.com/.
