The Boswell Family Scholarship was founded to assist high school seniors in pursuing their educational and career goals in the name of Christ. While students do not need to be Christian or affiliated with a church, our goal is to help those in need realize their dreams through the love and support of our community.
This scholarship is designed to recognize the “whole person” concept. While academic achievement is important, we place a strong emphasis on community service and financial need, as well as an applicant’s ability to communicate their vision.
