Applicants are judged on academic competence, school participation, and community involvement. Applicants must plan to enroll in an accredited college, university, or trade school in the fall.
This is our tenth year of giving out our scholarship. Previous winners have come from Pine Creek, Falcon, and Lewis-Palmer High Schools, The Classical Academy, and home schooled students. The last nine years we have given one award of $1,000. This year, thanks to community support and several donations from local business, we are able to give three awards of $1,500 each.
Special thanks to Mark Wild with Security Service, Brian Leland with Tri-Lakes Disposal, Cheryl Pixley with ReMax Advantage, Buddy Starr with DocuMart, Table Rock Llamas, ImagesInInk, EverAfter Stories, and Maggie Mae Sharp with Maggie’s Quill who are among our community donors with numerous additional donations from patrons to our shows. Craft Guild members also give a portion of their profits to the scholarship fund.
To donate, please contact Sally Burr at 491-8819 for more information.
