THE PURPOSE:

Every year there is an alarming, increasing growth of substance use, abuse, and obsessions leading to tragedy. Unfortunately, as our society changes, this problem is occurring at horrifying younger and younger ages. Our purpose is to help raise awareness of the problem through education, with the intent to stop potential illicit substance abuse before it starts.

THE SCHOLARSHIPS:

Three scholarships, in the amount of $1000 (one thousand dollars) each, will be awarded to three graduating high school senior students from the 2012-2013 school year. Successful recipients must be a graduating high school senior and shall be chosen as such:

 One shall be a graduating senior student from Iroquois High School.

 One shall be a graduating senior student and wrestler from any WNY area High School.

 One shall be a graduating High School senior student from any WNY area High School.

The recipient’s award will be transferred directly to the college that they are accepted to and are attending.

Minimum Criteria:

Successfully graduating from High School.

Basis for Award:

The successful candidates’ applications will be based on the following:

 Parent(s) or guardian(s) must have attended community informational meeting(s) on substance abuse awareness. (Proof of attendance will be required)

 Essay

 Two letters of Recommendation

The Dragonfly Scholarship Fund Committee will make the final determination to which applicants will be recipients of a scholarship.
