MLK Scholarship Opportunity

Together with the generous support of its sponsors, the Commemoration Committee awards several scholarships each year based on academic achievement, extracurricular involvement, and civic engagement. As in the past, high school seniors as well as current college students are encouraged to apply for these scholarships. 

In an effort to broaden the impact of these scholarships within the greater Carlisle community, the Committee also invites students graduating from the Carlisle GED program who plan to attend community college, college, or skill training programs to apply for this scholarship as well.

Additional scholarships will be available as funding permits for other adult members of the community who are pursuing or plan to pursue education or skills training programs.

Applicants should demonstrate adherence to the principles that guided Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., such as an unwavering commitment to non-violence and to policies that eliminate racial inequities and advance racial justice.

To apply, please complete and submit this APPLICATION.

CHS students can also obtain an application in the McGowan counseling center or from their English teacher. The deadline to apply for scholarships for the 2022-2023 academic year is Thursday, June 2, 2022. 

Scholarship awardees for the 2022-2023 academic year will be recognized at the MLK Commemoration Event in January 2023.
