This fall 39 local students working at Brooksby Village will be heading to college and for some, continuing on with their college/trade school education with financial help thanks to The Brooksby Village Scholarship Fund, which is for student employees who plan to attend a college or accredited trade school beginning this fall. Students become eligible for the Brooksby Village Scholarship by completing 1000 hours of work here over a consecutive 2-year period.
High school seniors will receive a total of $5,000 over the next four years of College. The money will be dispersed directly to their school in $625-per-semester increments, for a maximum of eight semesters or four years. The second option is for college freshman students who meet the scholarship eligibility. They will receive a total of $3,750 over the next three years of college. The money will be dispersed to their school in $625 per semester increments for a maximum of six semesters or three years.
All proceeds from tickets sales went towards the Brooksby Village Scholarship Fund.
