Please Donate to the Community Scholarship Fund for Seniors

Donate a Community Scholarship

2015 is our 28^th year of helping Park City students achieve their college dreams.  We continue to have a strong need to recognize seniors as well as provide much needed scholarship funds. For many of our students the cost of college is a stretch.  Our students do a great job balancing academics, involvement activities, work and the college and scholarship application process.  We have many first generation students attending college and many who struggle to meet the basic necessities.  Your scholarship gift will go towards college tuition. 

If you are interested in donating, please let me know by March 15th and I will email you a donation form.

Thank you so much for your support!
