More students are applying for scholarships in the D.C. Everest School District, possible signs of the rising cost of a college education and tough economic times.
Last year, one or two students came in the career center each day to get information and applications. This year at least five or six students a day are coming in, said Rose Matthiae, career specialist at the school.
“I’m also seeing more parents come in to get information, at least two or three a week,” she said.
