The Promise Scholarship is for grades 8-11, and the award is $500. The Senior Scholarship is for current 12th graders and is a $1,500 award. At least twelve recipients from each category will be chosen.
The money comes from local business sponsors and private donors, and is targeted at students who are college-bound not qualified for other types of scholarships.
