Buckley Trust Scholarship applications being accepted

Applications are now being sought for the 2015 Buckley Trust Scholarship, which will award six, $2,000 scholarships.

The grants are available to Creek Valley Senior High School graduating seniors who will pursue additional educational training that in turn will benefit the economic development of the community.

The trustees emphasized first of all, the importance of young people getting involved and volunteering towards the betterment of the community, which Tom Buckley loved most, and second that educational opportunities be provided to motivate and support young people not able to afford the total cost of higher education in their pursuit of higher education.

Applicants should have a C or higher grade-point average and demonstrate involvement in school and/or community programs. Students must apply in one of five academic departments: Business/Social Studies, English/Foreign Language, Music/ Fine Arts, Science/Mathematics or Vocational Areas.

Applications can be picked up from high school guidance counselor Kathy Ford. The deadline for submitting the application is April 15.
