Pie Town Community Council Scholarship Program

Each year the Pie Town Community Council has awarded a $500 scholarship to a graduating senior from Quemado High School, based upon academic excellence and extracurricular activities. In 2009, the Council changed the eligibility and award criteria.

The 2010 scholarship will be awarded either to a graduating senior from Quemado High School or to a home-schooled student who resides within our area (87827, 87829 and 87821 zip codes). The student must meet graduation or GED requirements and be planning to attend an accredited post-secondary education program.

The scholarship will be awarded based solely upon the nominee's record of volunteer community service. Financial need and academic achievement will not be considered. Community service cannot be for the sole benefit of a family member, nor can it be court-ordered. Service performed within the postal code areas stated above will be ranked higher than service performed elsewhere.

For the 2010 scholarship, only one year of community service will be considered. In 2011 and thereafter, two years of service will be considered. The definition of "Community Service" is still evolving, so if a student wishes to inquire about the eligibility of a particular project or activity, please contact secondchair@pietowncouncil.com.
