Pine Ridge Civic League Scholarship Program

Attention High School Seniors and Parents, Application due in May 16th 2025.
As a community, we are so excited and proud to fund this annual scholarship for high school students pursuing a college education.

Selection will be based on educational achievement, extra-curricular activities, community service, and commitment to outside employment,
references, and a written essay. The value of the scholarship(s) varies with each year and is non-renewable. The PRCL will award at least one scholarship each year. In the event that no applicant meets the requirements, no scholarship will be awarded for that year. Awardees must agree to share their name, brief bio, and photographs for use in Civic League social media and quarterly newsletter.

Please contact Jeremy Walker to be a member of the Scholarship Decision Committee.
