The primary purpose of the Oconee Lions Youth Citizenship Award is to recognize the achievements of two OCHS graduating seniors who provide evidence of the following criteria: (1) good citizenship, (2) an active interest in the civic, cultural, social and moral welfare of the community, and (3) a record of service to the community without personal financial award. This award is not intended to necessarily benefit students with "high" grade point averages. In the evaluation, consideration will be given to need, recommendations, personal achievements, and a statement of the applicant's personal goals and aspirations. Special weight will be given to community service accomplishments. The amount of the award is $1,000. Applications can be picked up in the Counseling office and are due back by 3:00 PM on April 24, 2015. Please turn the applications in to Mr. Guthas.
The Hill Chapel Baptist Church will be offering five $500.00 scholarships to qualified students based on their academic achievement, civic involvement and religious involvement. Applications for the scholarship can be picked up in the counseling office and are due to the church office by February, 6, 2015.
