Captain Darren Cardinal of the Hudson River Fishermen’s Association Scholarship Committee is proud to announce the HRFA’s Scholarship Program for 2008. Now in its sixth year, the program was created in 2003 to support college bound high school seniors who are committed to continuing their education at an accredited college or university in the fall.
This year again $20,000 in scholarships will be available with one winner receiving a $3,000 grant, four winners receiving $2,000 and nine winners receiving a $1,000 scholarship. The following criteria for the scholarship are GPA, extra curricula activities, community service, work experience, field of study and a written essay. An individual with financial need will be given the highest priority for the scholarship. Applications will be accepted at any time, but the application deadline is May 24, 2008.
