Applications are available for scholarships from various Richmond memorial funds. One form covers all nine of the scholarships. Application deadline is May 1.
RICHMOND â A total of 13 different scholarships are offered this year in Richmond. Deadline for applications is May 1, and awards are available to year-round residents, including this yearâs high school graduates and college students.
Seven of the awards amount to $1,000 or more and include a new scholarship established by the late Jerry and Maze Morray, who made their home in Richmond for years. The 13 awards include memorials to several Richmond residents, the oldest being the Anita Chapman scholarships, which will award a total of $7,000 this year.
Guidelines for awards, set by the Anita Chapman directors, emphasize academic achievement and community service in town and elsewhere, according to Chapman President Jan Hartford. Need is also considered. To assure continuance of the scholarships, awards are usually made using only interest earned on the funds.
