Selfless Service Scholarship

Showing up for your community comes in various forms, each as valuable as the next. You can volunteer your time to organizations fighting for causes you care about or volunteer resources to those providing to community members in dire need. Regardless of the approach, engaging with your local community isn’t just about personal fulfillment; it’s a profound honor that enriches the lives of everyone involved.

To highlight these worthy causes and the students who help them grow, we are offering the 2024 Selfless Service Scholarship! This $1,000 opportunity will be awarded to a student who writes an informative essay discussing their work in supporting their community through local organizations, groups, clubs, or on an individual basis. Your essay should celebrate the collective spirit of giving and inspire others to actively participate in building a stronger, more resilient community. Additionally, applicants are asked to provide school transcripts and their professional resume. The student demonstrating outstanding commitment and impact will be chosen as the recipient of this scholarship, assisting them in furthering their education.
