For the sixth consecutive year, the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG) will provide a scholarship to send a deserving young numismatist to the 2010 annual American Numismatic Association (ANA) Summer Seminar in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The scholarship will cover airfare, tuition for one of the two, week-long Summer Seminar sessions in June or July, meals and six nights of dormitory accommodations on the campus of Colorado College, site of the ANA headquarters.

“All young numismatists between the ages of 13 and 22 are cordially invited to apply for the PNG scholarship. To be eligible for consideration, entrants must submit a short essay outlining why they should be chosen as the scholarship recipient. The deadline for receipt of the entries is March 31, 2010,” said Robert Brueggeman, PNG Executive Director.

Nominations must include the applicant’s name and contact information. The nominating essays can be sent by e-mail to info@PNGdelaers.com, or by mail to the PNG Executive Director, 3950 Concordia Lane, Fallbrook, California 92028.

The two separate 2010 ANA Summer Seminar week-long sessions will be held Saturday, June 26, to Friday, July 2, and from Saturday, July 3, to Friday, July 9.
