Thanks to a generous donation by Mr. Richard J. Sarles, the Cochrane-Fountain City School District will be awarding five scholarships annually to students from the Cochrane-Fountain City School District area.

The purpose of this scholarship is to assist young people to receive an education beyond high school by attending a university college, or technical school as an undergraduate.

1. Students who graduate or have graduated from the school district or home-schooled students from the school district who have attained the equivalent educational status of a high school graduate from that school district.
2. The candidate shall be a graduating senior or enrolled in post-high school graduation or choosing post-high school education after working full-time for one or more years.

The scholarship may renew if the student requests a continuation, demonstrates continued enrollment, and demonstrates successful completion of a previous semester grade point average of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.

The scholarship will be distributed with the successful completion of a previous semester grade point average of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale. Recipients will need to submit a copy of their grades report to the C-FC District Office.

How to apply:

1. Candidates must have a 2.0-grade point average on a 4.0 grading scale.
2. Demonstrate financial need. The scholarship is a significant factor in enabling the student to attend post-high school education.
3. Submit a written essay: “Why higher education is important to me and my goals.”
4. Complete a personal interview with members of the selection committee. (Counselor, Principal, or Teacher)
5. Submit two letters of recommendation.
