The hosts of “All About Games”, Iron Mike and Shaun Ulvestad, are doing a live broadcast of “All About Games” from the Arizona Renaissance Festival this Saturday, February 22nd, from 8-10 am!  Our General Manager Linda Philbrook and DJ Rockin’ Richard (“Trading Post”) will be there as well.  Come by the media tent outside the front gate to hang out with us before the Festival starts at 10.  We will be talking with some of the performers and having a ton of fun.  However, once the show is over, the entertainment will live on, as you can find us all around the Renaissance Festival for the rest of the weekend as we enjoy all it has to offer.  Look for the red White Mountain Radio hats, and please come up to us and say hi.

If you are unable to make it down for the Arizona Renaissance Festival this weekend, you can still hear us locally on Storm 98.5 from 8-10 as we broadcast this special show.  If you haven’t gotten tickets to the Renaissance Festival yet, keep listening to Storm 98.5, 105.5 KSNX, and Z92.1/Z93.5 for your chance to win them from White Mountain Radio, courtesy of the fine people that put on this exciting event.  The Festival goes until March 29th, so there’s still a lot of chances for you to win, and a lot of joy to be had.

Free Scholarship Workshop at NPC

Do you need help paying for college? Thousands of dollars are available in the form of scholarships and grants. You can succeed in getting the funding you need. Betsyann Wilson, executive director of NPC Friends and Family, will explain how.

The key is to know how to find these opportunities and to be able to provide a powerful essay supporting your need for assistance. Wilson will be offering a free essay and scholarship search workshop on Friday, February 21, from 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m. She will be utilizing Northland Pioneer College’s interactive instructional network to reach out to all nine communities served by the college (Show Low, Snowflake/Taylor, Holbrook, Winslow, Kayenta, Hopi, St. Johns, Springerville/Eagar and Whiteriver).

“I will be sharing how you can present yourself as the worthiest candidate for a scholarship award,” explains Wilson. “It is crucial to know what review committees are looking for in a scholarship application. You need to know how to express yourself and demonstrate both your need and your resourcefulness and capability through a well-written essay. There are literally thousands of companies and organizations offering scholarships to help you pay for your education,” Wilson continues. “I’ll show you how to find ones in your area of interest, as well as explain which ones you should avoid, such as those requiring you to pay a fee to submit your application. I want you to avoid debt as much as possible and look at student loans only as a last resort!”

Wilson will also highlight the scholarships funded through her nonprofit organization and those offered by NPC for new and continuing students this upcoming fall semester. Additionally, she will explain to students how to conduct a scholarship search on NPC’s website, www.npc.edu/scholarships.

The workshop will be broadcast in the Connected Classrooms at all NPC locations and is free to current and potential NPC students, including high school seniors and their parents. There is no need to register. Just go to an NPC campus or center to be directed to the appropriate classroom. To find an NPC location nearest you, visit www.npc.edu/locations for addresses, phone numbers and maps.
