Candidates for Distinguished Young Woman of Wayne Westland sought

The Distinguished Young Women of Wayne-Westland scholarship program is offering something more this year with the inclusion of candidates from throughout Wayne County.
This year, the program will take place March 6 at Wayne Memorial High School and will name the Distinguished Young Women of Wayne-Westland and Wayne County as part of a national program which awards scholarships for young women's achievements. Young women who are in the graduation class of 2021 and involved in school and/or community activities can enter the competition which also requires candidates to be outstanding in academics, leadership, athletics or the arts.

Throughout participation in the event which has more than $1 billion in scholarships available nationally, candidates will make new friends, learn life skills such as interviewing and public speaking, have fun putting on a showcase of achievements and help pay for college, organizers said.
Candidates can register at www.DistingushedYW.org. An orientation meeting is set for 4 p.m. Jan. 26 at 32807 Manor Park in Garden City.
