BBBS to offer
scholarship to high school volunteers
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County will be offering
two $500 scholarships for students attending college in the 2016/2017
academic year. One scholarship will go to a Darke County graduate, and
one will go to a Shelby County graduate.
Those who wish to be considered for the scholarship should be students
who have maintained at least a 2.5 GPA throughout high school and
enrolled in a school within Shelby or Darke County. They also must have
been a volunteer for the Big Brothers Big Sisters Buddies program for
two full academic years and have attended at least 75% of the sessions
of which they were involved. Applicants must also plan to pursue an
associate’s or bachelor’s degree in any field of study at an accredited
two- or four-year college or university.
Students interested in applying can get the application from their
guidance office, their Big Brothers Big Sisters Community Service
Coordinator, or online at www.bigbrobigsis-shelbydarke.org on the
“Resources” page.
The scholarship deadline is April 15, 2016, and recipients will be
announced on May 6, 2016.
