Baseball player pitching in to help Arlington student

Texas Rangers player Hank Blalock is offering Arlington school district juniors a $10,000 college scholarship, but those interested need to show some hustle. The deadline for applications is March 6.

In a press release from the district, Blalock said he wants the money to be awarded to a high school junior so they can "go into their final year of high school knowing that they have the ability to take their education to the next level, and not have to worry about how to pay for it."

An essay and letters of recommendation are required. To get an application go here or visit any Arlington school counselor.

Hi Amy,
Thanks for the question. I'll check on it tomorrow (Wednesday). If you'll send me a phone number or e-mail address to tshurley@star-telegram.com. I'd be glad to give you call. Or you can just look back at the blog for a post on the winner.
Thanks again!
