The Academic Excellence Scholarships, funded by the annual “A Tribute to Caring” gala, are recruiting scholarships designated for incoming students and are based on the student’s outstanding achievements as well as their contributions to the community.
These scholarships, ranging from $1,600 - $10,000, are intended to entice the brightest and most promising students. They are an acknowledgment and means of recognizing their success.
