Grand Trunk, an outdoor gear store in Skokie, will accept applications for the Grand Trunk 2012 Study Abroad Scholarship Contest, according to a press release.

The contest is open from Oct. 1 to Oct. 28 to college students who have been accepted into a study abroad program for the 2011-12 school year. Applicants should submit a two to three minute video by Oct. 28 that will be displayed on Grand Trunk’s website.
