Each summer, Cedar Park Neighbors awards up to 7 scholarships to neighborhood high school graduates and continuing college students.
The Cedar Park Neighbors Scholarship Program was begun in 1989 to encourage our neighborhood youth to attend college. Since that time, the Scholarship Program has made 79 awards for a total of $36,950 to 36 young neighbors with aspirations and commitment to our community.
The Scholarship Program is funded by direct contributions from residents of Cedar Park as well as funds generated through the Cedar Park Neighbors Firehouse Recycling Program.
The Scholarship Program Committee invites qualified students to submit applications. Applicants must live within Cedar Park, graduate from high school, be accepted at a post-secondary school, be involved in the betterment of the neighborhood, and demonstrate financial need. The awards are in the amount of $500 – $600 per student. Students in good academic standing may apply for a renewal scholarship in subsequent years.
The application deadline is July 1 of each year. Award decisions will be made by August 1 of each year and scholarships will be presented later in the month at a gathering hosted by Cedar Park Neighbors.
Inquiries and application requests may also be directed to the Scholarship Program Board at scholarship@cedarparkneighbors.org.
