Guthrie Community Credit Union Scholarship Application - Final Reminder - March 31st Due Date
This is a newly established scholarship by Guthrie Federal Credit Union. Guthrie Federal Credit
Union is deeply committed to supporting the education goals of graduating seniors.
Eligibility Criteria and Checklist:
• Graduating senior from Waverly Central High School, Tioga Central High

parochial schools and home-schooled students.
• Must be accepted into an accredited four-year college or university.
• Write an essay of 250-500 words, double-spaced, that describes areas in your
life where you have demonstrated leadership and overcame obstacles either
through your school, social, or family life. While you can certainly write
about an experience that has had a profound effect on your life, it is important
to remember that we are not evaluating you based on the seriousness of the
obstacle you overcame. The goal of the essay is to show us that you have the
intelligence and fortitude to handle challenges that come your way.

highest grades.

What: Supporting Emotional Regulation in Neurodiverse Children: Considerations & Strategies for Setting Children Up for Success
When: December 11, 2025, from 6:00-7:30pm
Where: All sessions are offered through Zoom.
Registration is required: https://nysrcasd.org/events/1542/registrations/new
Holidays, while joyful, can also be stressful. For neurodiverse individuals the change in their routine, anticipation, uncertainty, and many other factors, can lead to heightened emotionality (positive or negative) that may lead to “big” emotions. This presentation will focus on these challenges and highlight proactive strategies to both minimize distress and further support the development of emotional regulation skills.
Following participation in the seminar, participants will be able to:
1. Identify proactive strategies to reduce instances of dysregulation.
2. Identify strategies to implement as early warning signs emerge.
3. Identify strategies to increase the acquisition and generalization of emotional regulation skills.

David L. Meichenbaum, Ph.D. is a NYS licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the diagnostic evaluation and treatment of developmental and mental health disorders.
