Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world, the late Nelson Mandela said.
And so it is! Education uplifts and empowers, especially the children and youth of our great nation.
That's why the Clinton County Community Foundation is pleased - on behalf of these exceptional benefactors - to offer these scholarship opportunities to high school students in the Keystone Central School District's Central Mountain and Bucktail Area High Schools. Each year, guidance counselors accept applications from students for these important scholarships:

- Fromm Family Scholarship Award to a deserving student studying Biology.

(Awarded by a committee of the Clinton County Conservation District.)
