Each year, our Board of Directors awards three graduating seniors a $5,000 scholarship to the college or university of their choice. An ongoing scholarship of $3,000 is available to previous years’ awardees. In total, we have awarded nearly $500,000 in scholarships for the past 30+ years of the program.
