2020 Local Scholarships
With onsite learning coming to an end in March for AHS 2020 Seniors, the annual Scholarship Tea was rescheduled and redesigned for June 11 as a drive-thru scholarship pick up at Ashdown High School.
Sixty-five scholarships of over $ 37,000 were given to 34 Ashdown High School Seniors.
The Scholarship Committee has awarded over 100% of all donated moneys for some time due to investments. We plan to continue this trend and strive both to recognize students’ needs and to reward their hard work and high aspirations.
Last year, we awarded 62 scholarships with a total value of $36,000. The committee has authorized an alumni fund through which former students of Ashdown High School, businesses, or other individuals may contribute to the program in any amount and at any time. Such contributions may be made in honor or memory of friends and loved ones. Scholarships are tax-deductible and may be sent to Ashdown Public Schools, 751 Rankin St., Ashdown, AR 71822. You may attention your correspondence to Ashdown Scholarship Committee or call 903-826-4434 if you have any questions.
We would like to thank all of the donors for allowing us to continue honoring our deserving seniors from Ashdown High School. We would also like to encourage businesses, as well as individuals to support the scholarship program.
