If you are at that time a high school senior with at least a 3.0 GPA, you may apply by completing the online application below (deadline is March 31, 2014).

How can the scholarship be used?
The scholar has one year to use his/her full $500 award.

ServoCity will award the funds directly to the college or university the student plans to attend.

Hints for a successful application We offer the following words of advice to consider while completing your application:
- Do not use abbreviations or slang in your answers
