Harry B. Rowell, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Harry B. Rowell, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund, administered by the Community Foundation of Central Georgia, provides financial assistance to graduating seniors from Crawford County High School. To qualify, applicants must plan to enroll full-time in a bachelor's degree program at an accredited four-year college or university. Selection is based on academic merit, leadership, citizenship, and service to others.

The award is valued at $500 per year and is renewable for up to four years, provided the recipient continues to meet the eligibility requirements and completes the necessary follow-up documentation requested by the foundation. To apply, students must submit their application through the provider's online portal, which includes providing a letter of recommendation from a teacher. While this program is merit-based and does not explicitly require the FAFSA or state financial aid applications for eligibility, students are generally encouraged to complete the FAFSA to secure comprehensive funding for their higher education. The annual application deadline is February 28th.
