There were 11$ appllennts this year-twice the number who applied last year-ead they came from 42 of the state’s 1M counties, a gala of II counties over lust yesr* We regard this as positive evidence that the media, and the high school guidance counselors, in nearly half the state are doing an excellent job of informing interested young people of the opportunity these scholarships . provide. Although only four Sanford Scholarships are awarded, participation in the competitive traditions can open ether doors of opportunity to many more North Carolina residents: roughly half of those who enter the competltioa display sufficient potential and ability to qualify for ad mission into our professional performing arts programs, and are subsequently enrolled.
