To be considered for the scholarships, students must submit a resume that summarizes their academic achievements, extra-curricular involvement, and participation in community programs and charities. In addition, students must submit essays detailing what civic involvement means to them.
“These students have demonstrated a commitment to community service and civic engagement in our community,” Brewer said. “Based on this commitment and the thoughts they expressed in their essays, I wouldn’t be surprised to see several of these young men and women serving in community leadership positions in the very near future.”
