Hanover Post-Secondary Scholarship Fund
Statement of Purpose
The Hanover Scholarship Fund has been established to support youth (up to the age of 22 years) who are active in the life of the church as they pursue post-high school education. It is awarded on the basis of your current active participation in church activities, which you will describe in the essay (see page 2). Your family does NOT have to be a member but YOU must have been regularly active at Hanover for at least the past year. Activities could include things such as Sunday School, Youth Group, Choir (adult or youth), and regular Sunday attendance. Scholarship assistance will begin this fall; it is anticipated that the amount will be several hundred dollars. Returning students need to apply each year.
