The deadline to apply for the Fred Scherz Sr. Memorial Scholarship for Volunteer Community Service that was created by Fred “Fritz” Scherz, Jr., councilman on the Verona Town Board in Verona is May 13. The scholarship will be in the amount of $250 and will be awarded by Fritz to a Town of Verona student who is on track to graduate from 12th grade at a high school (public or private) or home school by June 30. Additionally, the student must have lived in the Town of Verona since at least Dec. 1 and must be voluntarily engaged in community service or must have created a community project.
“I wanted to remind students of the deadline, as I want to encourage as many students from the Town of Verona to apply,” said Scherz. “As in previous years, I’ve received inquiries about the scholarship, so I’m looking forward to receiving the applications and finding out about all the good things that local students are doing in the community.”
