In 1985, the Parkville Recreation and Parks Council, Inc. established the Parkville Recreation Council Youth Scholarship Fund. The first scholarships were awarded in the spring of 1985, and will be awarded annually, provided sufficient donations are received to maintain the Scholarship Fund. We are pleased to announce that this scholarship program will continue this year.

*The academic performance of the applicant
*The high school extra-curricular activity of the applicant

The Scholarship Committee urges any high school senior planning to attend college, and who meets the criteria for this scholarship to apply as soon as possible.
