Started in Nov. 2017, local friends in conjunction with a local restaurant, The Fat Hen, and working with the High School on Johns Island. Modeled after a similar scholarship from our home town of Torrington, CT. The school has a high need for community support and engagement for continuing education. We held our first fundraiser March 2018 and awarded the first $500 per year for 4 years scholarship in May 2018. We typically hold 2 fundraising events per year, but this year 2020 is an especially needy year as we won't be able to hold an fundraisers. We awarded 2 scholarships in both 2019 and 2020 all $500 per year for 4 years. So we have 5 students in our support structure which includes each student being assigned a mentor from our Steering Committee.
