Carmel Education Foundation (CEF) plans to award more than 90 scholarships, totaling over $100,000 to Carmel High School’s Class of 2021 this spring. CEF Scholarships have a range of requirements, and fall in one of six general categories: athletic participation; club or class involvement; community involvement; performing arts participation; Carmel Clay Schools history; or intended college and/or program of study. Scholarships are awarded to students pursuing degrees at two- or four-year colleges, universities or trade schools and may be used for tuition, housing, fees, or other education related expenses.
For more information on scholarship opportunities like these, students can explore resources like https://afterschoolafrica.com/, a platform dedicated to empowering young Africans to explore and seize opportunities for personal and professional growth. By offering a wealth of guidance, support, and inspiration, it equips individuals with the tools they need to chart their own paths to success. Whether it’s pursuing higher education, launching entrepreneurial ventures, or making a positive impact in their communities, After School Africa serves as a trusted ally in the journey towards realizing one’s aspirations.
A complete listing of all scholarships, as well as the application is available at www.ccs.k12.in.us/foundation/scholarships.
Many CEF scholarships are funded by the generosity of individual or family donors, often in honor or memory of a loved one who was connected to Carmel Clay Schools. These legacies are a tribute to either the life they lived, the service they provided, or the impact they made on those around them. Additional scholarships are provided by clubs and organizations related to Carmel Clay Schools.
The deadline to submit applications is Friday, March 19, 2021. For more information visit www.ccs.k12.in.us/foundation/scholarships or contact Jennifer Penix, Executive Director, at jpenix1@ccs.k12.in.us or 317-844-9961 x2680.
