Annual Scholarship Award
Scholarship Winners
When the Civic Association announced its annual scholarship in 2011, we made it clear we were looking for someone with outstanding grades, leadership skills, good character, and a record of community service. Our winners exemplify these qualities and we are proud of all of them.
Congratulations to our 2015 Scholarship winner:
