Applications being accepted until April 15 deadline for Allamakee Dollars for Scholars Alumni Scholarship

The year 2014 marks the ninth year for the alumni scholarship instituted by the Allamakee Dollars for Scholars (ADFS) Board of Directors. The award is made to a Waukon High School (WHS) graduate who participated in ADFS while in high school and received an ADFS award as a graduating senior.
The scholarship is available for college sophomores or higher level students who have been out of high school two years. The ADFS Board feels it is important to continue the encouragement to WHS graduates as they continue their education, not just as they start their post-high school program. The group wishes to encourage participation in community service and college activities that are part of their educational growth and preparation for career and community life.
Scholarship criteria include academic achievement, student participation in college activities, especially in their field of study, and community service.
Applications are available on the Allamakee Community School District web site at http://www.allamakee.k12.ia.us/index.php/administration-office/district-.... All application forms and recommendations for the ADFS Board of Directors Alumni Scholarship are due to the Waukon High School Guidance Office by April 15.
