Morgan GrayScholarship available
The deadline for applying for the Morgan R. Gray Memorial Scholarship Fund is March 31. The amount of the scholarship has yet to be determined, but $5,000 has been awarded since 2005 to seven homeschool students.
The scholarship for Rowan County students who were homeschooled during their junior and senior years was established in memory of 11-year-old Morgan Gray, a Rowan County homeschool student who was killed in an automobile accident in 2001.
Applicants must be a full-time student accepted by a college, university, nursing, business or trade school; present evidence of good character by participation in extracurricular activities including community affairs, church, employment and other endeavors; and show proof of home schooling during the junior and senior years of high school.
Unlike many scholarships, this one is open to any full-time college student meeting these requirements, not just rising freshmen. Funds may be used for tuition, books, and/or school supplies.
Applications can be found in the Homeschool Vertical file at Rowan Public Library in Salisbury or online at www.rchsa.com.
