High school seniors in Gordon, Murray and Whitfield counties now can begin applying for the Sisson’s HOPE Memorial Scholarship for 2010.
The $500 scholarship is granted after applications are reviewed by the organization’s scholarship committee, said Dawn Sisson, mother of Tiffany Marie Sisson, for whom the scholarship is named.
“The scholarship was started in 2004, which would have been my daughter’s senior year in high school,” she said.
“Any senior is eligible,” Mrs. Sisson said. “They don’t have to be the top student, but academics are important. School and community involvement are requirements.”
She said an essay is part of the application, and the deadline is March 31.
