The ninth\u00a0annual 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\u00a0grade at a high school (public or private) or home school by\u00a0June 30, 2018. Additionally, the student\u00a0must have lived in Verona since at least Dec. 1, 2017, and must be voluntarily engaged in community service or must have created a community project that benefits the town.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did the inaugural scholarship back in the spring of 2010 as a way to honor my Dad\u2019s memory,\u201d said Scherz. \u201cMy Dad believed in giving back to his community and took pride in helping out so many people. Last year, I had co-winners, Racheal Cadrette and Olivia Musacchio. I plan on self-funding\u00a0this year\u2019s scholarship in my dad\u2019s name and feel that if students get started in volunteering at a younger age they\u2019ll continue to do so once they\u2019re out of school. I\u2019m a strong believer that volunteerism is a great thing for any community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To view the complete rules and to get an application for the\u00a0Fred Scherz Sr. Memorial Scholarship for Volunteer Community Service, go to: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fritzscherz.com\/\">www.fritzscherz.com<\/a>.
