2008 JASPER FOUNDATION AWARDS SCHOLARSHIPS

2008 Jasper Foundation Awards Scholarships Total $337,300

Local high school and college students from Jasper County are benefiting from the generosity and foresight of donors to the Jasper Foundation. As part of the Foundation's mission to the community, education is supported as a lifelong pursuit. Because of the generosity of their contributors, the Foundation has been able to provide financial assistance for many young people in Jasper County seeking a post-secondary education.

Students interested in pursuing scholarships through the Foundation are encouraged to contact their guidance counselor after the first of the year to learn of the requirements for each scholarship and the application process.
