Innovative offers scholarships

Innovative is accepting applications, which are available throughout the territory, for the 2012 Albert A. Sheen Scholarships and Innovative Telephone/UVI Scholarships.

Albert A. Sheen Scholarships are awarded to two Virgin Islands high school seniors who already have been accepted to a college or university to pursue a degree in accounting; business administration; business management; engineering; or related fields. Each student is awarded a $20,000 scholarship to be used only for tuition.

The scholarship is named in honor of the late attorney, Albert A. Sheen, who served as the legal counsel for the Virgin Islands Telephone Corporation.

Innovative Telephone/UVI Scholarships are awarded to 12 Virgin Islands students who already have been accepted to the University of the Virgin Islands. Each student is awarded a $2,000 scholarship to be used for tuition, books and materials at UVI.

Applications are available at the security desks at the Innovative Business offices in Estate Diamond on St. Croix; Tutu Park on St. Thomas; and Starfish Marketplace in St. John. Applications are also available from guidance counselors at all Virgin Islands high schools or by downloading the forms from Innovative's website at www.innovativevi.net/home/about-innovative.

All completed applications are due April 20.
