Indiana’s 21st Century Scholars Program

Attention 7th and 8th Grade Parents:

Your child may be eligible for a college scholarship! Indiana's 21st

Century Scholars Program offers income-eligible Hoosier students up to

four years of paid tuition at an eligible Indiana college or university after

they graduate from high school. Please take the time to read the at-

tached information titled "21st Century Scholar info flyer." Applications

must be received no later than June 30, of the student's 8th grade

year. Even if you know you are not currently eligible, you should still

apply for the scholarship. If your student is denied now, the application

can still be reviewed at a later date should your student’s financial situa-

tion change. However, if you do not apply prior to the end of the

8th grade year, this opportunity is lost regardless of what unexpected

circumstances might arise in the next four years.

If you would like to complete the application process yourself, call the

office to receive your student’s STN number. If you prefer, you can fill

out the necessary information and turn the application worksheet into

the office, and one of the counselors will complete the application pro-

cess for you. Don’t let this opportunity for four years of paid college

tuition pass your students by.

7th and 8th Grade Robotics Competition

Limestone Robotics Tournament

On Saturday, December 8th, the 7th and 8th grade Robotics Teams competed in the Limestone Robotics Tournament

in Bedford, Indiana. This year’s First Tech Challenge was called “Rover Ruckus” and had a theme about space. For

the competition, teams had to make a robot that could pick up gold and silver pieces (blocks and wiffle balls) from a

crater and deposit them into a rover in the correct spot. The teams were able to get their robots working and were able

to pick up pieces to score points for their teams.

The teams competed in five matches each, had an interview to explain their robot and how it works, and they had to

create an engineering notebook to explain the process of designing their robot step-by-step. The 7th and 8th Grade

Robotics Team and coaches appreciate the help and support of their parents and sponsors, Toyota Indiana, and Cas-

tle High School FRC Team #6498.
