Since its inception in 2004, this scholarship has encouraged and assisted students in being able to obtain hundreds of college credits in a high school setting. Scholarships are awarded for both the fall and spring semesters. We would like to thank the Carelli and Gardner families for this opportunity in honor of Courtney and Ryan and for their continued support which they so generously give to our students.
