Creating New On-Ramps To Civic Engagement

Scholarship Overview
The Living the Legacy Scholarship aims to recognize and support students who demonstrate exemplary civic leadership qualities within their school and community. By honoring those who actively engage in civic duties — such as organizing or advocating for positive change, serving as poll workers, holding leadership positions, or displaying aspirations for public office — this scholarship seeks to foster and empower the next generation of responsible, proactive citizens and leaders. Through recognition, financial assistance, and training, we aspire to inspire sustained commitment to civic engagement and the cultivation of leadership skills among high school students, thereby contributing to the enhancement of society.
