Be part of Madison Area Technical College's second annual "Win a Career" contest, which will award one prospective student with a full two-year scholarship (up to a $6,000 value!) to MATC to pursue his or her dream career.

Fill out an entry application, answer a few short essay questions, and send it in. If you're chosen as one of the finalists, you'll be asked to produce a short (3 minutes or less) amateur video so you can tell/show/demonstrate how a career from MATC will change your life.

A panel of judges will select up to 40 finalists from the eligible written entries to create their videos. Of the finalists, one contest winner and up to 4 runners-up will be revealed at the Win A Career awards celebration held on February 12, 2009.

Local celebrity judges will pick one grand-prize winner to receive a FREE CAREER from MATC, and runners up will receive $1,000 worth of MATC tuition toward their careers.

Five minutes of fame. Career benefits that last a lifetime.
