ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP
An Annual Scholarship is made by individuals, businesses or other foundations who care about your children, their education, and our collective future. These people donate a specific amount for a student scholarship, based on previously determined criteria. This donation is awarded each year.  For an Annual Scholarship to be ongoing the donor(s) needs to make yearly contributions.
