Scholarship Awards:
The Foundation believes in supporting our students for higher education. Scholarship awards can assist to defray some of that cost and make an education beyond high school more accessible. The Foundation manages several scholarship funds established by members of the community, for award, and is able to accept funds for scholarship distribution as a 501(c)3 entity.
