Denney Family Scholarship
Education is a crucial part of any young student’s life, providing them with the building blocks they’ll use in any future endeavor.
Passionate teachers who truly care about instilling confidence and curiosity in their students can make all the difference in inspiring students to further their education after high school. Dedicated students should know that their community has their back and will uplift them throughout the financial and personal struggles that higher education can bring.
This scholarship aims to support students who are passionate about learning and pursuing college so they can give back through teaching.
Any high school senior from Baltimore County, Maryland, who has at least a 3.5 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they will be a first-generation college student who will study education and will attend community college with the goal of moving on to further education. Applicants must also have a profile photo.
To apply, submit an essay or video response telling us about yourself, your interests, your extracurriculars, where you’re from, and your future goals, including the schools you hope to attend and the steps you’ll take to achieve your dreams. If you choose the video option, write “Submitted via a video link” in the essay box and submit a link to your video as a public YouTube link or a Google Drive link. Settings should be set to "public" or "anyone with the link can view." If we can't access your video, your application won't be considered.
Tell us about yourself, including your interests, extracurricular activities, and where you are from. Describe your future goals, the schools you hope to attend, and the steps you plan to take to achieve your aspirations.
