If you know a senior who is continuing their education at a community college, trade school or university, tell them about this opportunity. The 2025 scholarship application will be available at www.sneadsferrynorthcarolina.com/scholarships in the coming weeks.

Please note that students may begin accumulating and recording community volunteer hours as early as the summer prior to 9th grade (freshman year).
