History of the Troop 58 Scholarship Fund

The Saunders family made a donation to the troop to be used as seed money for a scholarship fund, which was set up in January of 2013.  The troop hopes to maintain and grow the funds in this account through donations by families, community partners and charitable organizations so that more scouts can benefit in the years to come.

The purpose of this scholarship is to acknowledge and reward outstanding Troop 58 Eagle Scouts who:

• Are graduating high school seniors.
• Have demonstrated outstanding character and leadership during their years in the troop.
• Have been engaged in various community and/or church based programs and activities.
• Are planning to attend college/other continuing education after high school graduation.

Who is eligible?:  Graduating High School Seniors who are active Eagle Scouts in Troop 58.

Time Frame:  Announcements about the opportunity for scholarships will be made at the Holiday Court of Honor in December and at subsequent troop meetings. Information will also be posted on the BSA Troop 58 website.

How to Apply:  An application can be obtained by downloading it here.

Deadline:  The completed application and other requested documents must be submitted by May 17th to a Scholarship Committee member.  Interviews will be scheduled after that date.
