Time for our youth, our future, to show us their knowledge.

Unfortunately, the tough choice had to be made to reduce the award from $2000 to $1000 and only 2 winners, down from 3. Fundraising has been tough and less fruitful. We as the board do our best but are always open to ideas to help-- from there we need participation. We get funds for this scholarship by doing fundraisers and hosting events to support the fund. Please consider attending a function to help us continue to pass out scholarships!
