Big Brothers Big Sister 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.
