One of the most gratifying things about Town & Gown is the opportunity to change a person’s life through the awarding of a scholarship. Scholar selection is based on 1) high grade point average, typically 3.8 and higher; 2) volunteer community involvement; 3) a career goal that offers service to others; and 4) high financial need. Your generosity changes lives. Click on the students' names to read their stories.
