<p class="MsoNormal">Remember how awesome it was to receive feedback on a scholarship essay BEFORE you submitted it?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know that some of you did not have that opportunity as high school students, because you did not have a network of support or familial capital of that kind. Dr. Jose Melendez at UO is collaborating with some community organizations and
UO community members to offer a scholarship clinic on Saturday Feb 20<sup>th</sup>. He is seeking volunteers for 45 minute blocks of time to meet (zoom) with high school students to provide them with support, mentoring, and feedback on their essays. If you
are willing to do this or at least want to know more, please read the attached information.
