• One (1) $1500.00 scholarship, the “Elmer Schneidmiller Community Leadership Award” will be given an individual who has demonstrated exemplary leadership and service to the entire Liberty Lake community.

           

These scholarships are available to students who are a resident, or have a parent, guardian or grandparent who is a resident of the Liberty Lake community and is planning on attending an institute of higher learning or vocational school, full-time during the 2012-2013 school year.  All scholarships will be paid directly to the institution.  Former recipients are not eligible.

Candidates will be judged on applications indicating the following: community involvement, academic & vocational aptitude, and the desire to develop skills to serve our community, country and society.

A committee of FOPP board members will select scholarship recipients from full and complete applications submitted prior to the deadline.  The “Presidents Award” will be selected by a committee comprised of the current and past presidents of FOPP.  The “Schneidmiller Award” will be selected by the Schneidmiller family. The scholarship committee reserves the exclusive right to award the scholarships as they see fit and to withhold award(s) if no satisfactory applications are received.

Students who are directly related to a current board member of FOPP are not eligible for the monetary scholarships. However, they may apply for the Presidents’ Award and/or the Schneidmiller Community Leadership Award as a non-monetary award.
