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. In addition to using the funds for tuition at an accredited college or university, the scholar may also use their funds for other educational expenses such as on-campus housing and textbooks. 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
- Proofread your answers
- Use the essays to tell the rest of the story that other questions don’t ask - talk about your responsibilities and actions where possible
