Austin Voices for Education and Youth, a non-profit that seeks to expand opportunities for youth, is accepting nominations for the third annual Shout Out Awards scholarship program.  The Shout Out Awards honor people who are taking action to strengthen public schools in Austin.

There will be four $1,000 scholarships awarded - two for high school students, and two for parents demonstrating leadership in improving schools in Austin. The parent scholarships can be put toward a student's college tuition, a parent's job training or can be donated to a child's school.

The winners of the Shout Out Awards will be announced at a ceremony on April 8th at The Highball.  Nominations are due March 10, 2010.  The nomination form is available at austinvoices.org.
