Spectrum News 13 is proud to announce this year’s Project Weather Scholarship.
The work of a meteorologist is to figure out the future, and at times, it’s not so hard. Other times, it can be difficult.
Spectrum News 13’s parent company, Charter Communications, set out to help find the next generation of science experts.
The company awarded six students from public, private or parochial schools across our nine-county area $1,000 each toward a bright future. The scholarship is granted as part of News 13’s commitment to educating students about science and weather.
For more on the Project Weather educational program, log on to the Project Weather section of Spectrum News 13’s website.
