Scholarship

This spring, the Housing Authority will once again be offering several scholarships to graduating high school seniors who will be attending a university, college, junior college or accredited vocational school full-time in the fall. These scholarships are available to your dependents who are currently living with you and who are named on your lease.

To be eligible, a student must be a legal resident of the United States, have at least a 3.0 cumulative grade-point average, and have an idea of which school he/she will be attending. Scholarships will be $1,500 for full-time students in a four-year college or university, and $500 for full-time junior college or vocational students. These awards may be renewed, with continued eligibility, for a total of four years.
