All Scholars must also meet the following requirements: be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident of the U.S., be a legal resident of Colorado, be a high school senior in Colorado, have an unweighted GPA of 3.5 or above, demonstrate a strong interest and commitment to the community, demonstrate an ability to persevere through difficult circumstances, possess excellent leadership skills, and demonstrate financial need [annual household income no greater than $70,000]. All selected Scholars will receive a four-year renewable financial grant, but awarding financial grants is only the beginning of what Greenhouse Scholars offers. Our program provides mentorship and scholarship support, addressing each Scholar with our Whole Person approach. Through our program, Scholars have access to as much intellectual, academic and professional support as they do financial subsidies. The program includes: program mentors, peer mentors, internship opportunities, access to a network of professional liaisons, and our summer symposiums. The amount of the financial grant will be based on unmet educational costs after other forms of financial aid have been assessed. The grant will range from $4,000 - $20,000 over four years. The financial grant and participation in our program is renewable based on Scholars meeting a variety of program requirements. All applications must be emailed or postmarked by Tuesday, January 20, 2009. Complete applications include: essay questions, three letters of recommendation, a signed contract, and up-to-date transcripts. Applications are available online at www.greenhousescholars.org.

The NPD Group, a leading global market research company, recently reported that iTunes, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target, and Amazon are the top music sellers, in terms of both CDs and digital music, in the United States. Consumers who purchase CDs are doing so more and more from Web sites, and digital music sales have climbed 54% in the last year alone. Moreover, the four top CD sellers sell CDs at prices that are 35% lower than those found in brick-and-mortar music stores. According to Forrester Research, an independent technology and market research company, digital music sales will continue to grow, outstripping CD sales in a mere five years. Unfortunately, digital music sales are not growing sufficiently to account for the continuing decline in CD sales. Based on the information given above and information gleaned from outside sources, respond to one of the following essay prompts: 1. With the continuing drop in CD sales, what is the benefit, if any, of selling CDs at such low prices? What is the benefit of music labels' continuing to produce CDs? 2. Is the advent of digital music killing the music industry? What can digital music and/or CD sellers do to expand the market (increase profits)? Good Luck!
