HCCF announces county scholarships

The Harrison County Community Foundation Board of Directors has approved $250,000 to be distributed among the four Harrison County high schools for scholarships to graduating seniors this year. This is a $50,000 increase in the funds provided from the Foundation for local high school scholarships last year.

The amounts provided to each school scholarship program were based on the reported number of seniors enrolled as of Jan. 8, 2003. Amounts awarded

are: Lanesville $24,127; South Central $35,421; North Harrison $92,402; and Corydon Central $98,049.

The Foundation requires that at least 10 percent of each school's total amount be distributed to students entering a certified vocational training program. Each high school has volunteer panels that review applications and determine the recipients and amounts awarded to individual graduates.

Students who desire to compete for these funds should contact their high school counselor. Graduating seniors are also reminded of scholarship programs established by the Foundation that are reserved for Harrison County residents through Indiana University Southeast and the University of Louisville.
