Applicants must plan to attend an accredited two-year college, a two-year technical school, or a four-year college/university for the years 2025 and 2026. Awards are granted based on academic excellence, participation in school events, leadership qualities, community service and volunteer work and career aspirations.

All applications should include an official school transcript and SAT/ACT scores. If your institution did not require the scores, specify that in the designated section and provide a graded English assignment from the 2024-2025 school year. Applicants should also provide two reference letters from a teacher or counselor and ensure they’re signed.

The civic association’s scholarship committee chair will notify recipients via email. All of them must participate in the scholarship award celebration – date to be determined – and agree to be featured on the civic association’s social media and website. The recipients must also provide proof of enrollment to receive funds.

Deadline for applications is Saturday, Feb. 15, by 11:59 pm. To learn more, visit https://tinyurl.com/yckf8cr7.

For assistance with an application, contact scholarship committee chair Karen Taylor Bass at karen.taylorbass@chaaca.org or info@chaaca.org.
