Attention parents and youth!

From Marica D:

You can download the criteria and guidelines as well as the application from the PFHA website. Applications are due no later than May 31, 2006.

The scholarships are available to all graduating high school seniors with at least a 2.5 grade point average. Winners are selected on the basis of association activities, academic achievement, community service, and financial need. The scholarship can be used for vocational school (including farrier school), community college, or university enrollment.

Last year the scholarship committee awarded $15,000 in scholarships to five very deserving youth.

You can't be selected if you don't apply. Good luck!
