Two local groups are opening applications to award scholarships to Bauxite students.
The Bauxite Old Timers and the Bauxite Class of 1965 will each award a $2,000 scholarship to a student due to graduate in the class of 2021. (Scroll down to read more.)
Requirements for the two scholarships are almost identical. Recipients must:
- Be 2021 Bauxite graduates,
- Have a minimum GPA of 2.0,
- Complete and submit a simple two page application along with a transcript and three recomendation forms.
The Old Timers scholarship is avaliable to graduates pursuing any degree in any field of study in any post secondary institution.
The Class of ’65 scholarship is limited to graduates pursuing a two year degree or certificate in a “vo-tech” type program. This could include anything from nursing to plumbing to welding.
Organizers of the scholarships stress the importance that applicants read and follow directions carefully when making application for these scholarships.
Both applications are available in the Counselor’s office at Bauxite High School. Applications must be submitted by the deadline, which has been extended to May 1, 2021.
