In an effort to encourage students from the Shaw area to attend college, Shaw Community Ministry awards scholarships to a select number of students each year. Students apply for the awards and the recipients are honored at a special banquet. Recent scholarship winners are now studying at Ohio State University, University of District of Columbia and other institutions of higher learning. SCM relies on special donations to fund the scholarships.
Criteria for
the scholarship:
Applicants for the Shaw Community Ministry Scholarship must be high
school seniors or the equivalent who have demonstrated promise of
success in college or other post-secondary schooling. Academic
promise may be demonstrated by a strong pattern of improving grades
and academic effort, together with extracurricular activities that
indicate involvement in community life through the arts, volunteer
service, or other activities that contribute to the well-being of
others.
Applicants should be current residents of the Shaw neighborhood in
Northwest Washington, D.C., 21 years of age or younger, and enrolled
in or graduated from high school or an accredited GED study program.
All applicants must complete the
D.C.
Public Schools application form with Shaw supplementary questions.
