Pine Ridge Civic League Scholarship Program

Attention High School Seniors and Parents:

Applications will be available April 15th, 2026.

The Pine Ridge Civic League is proud to offer an annual scholarship in support of graduating high school seniors pursuing post-secondary education. This program reflects our community’s commitment to recognizing academic achievement, leadership, and service within Pine Ridge.

Scholarship recipients are selected based on a combination of academic performance, extracurricular involvement, community service, commitment to employment or other responsibilities, references, and a written essay. Scholarship award amounts may vary from year to year and are non-renewable. The Civic League will award at least one scholarship annually; however, if no applicant meets the established criteria, no scholarship will be awarded for that year.

Recipients must agree to share their name, a brief biography, and photographs for use in Civic League communications, including social media and the quarterly newsletter.
