Shelter Insurance® Foundation and Corey Leonard offer local high school scholarships

 

[February 23, 2016]  LINCOLN - This spring, the Shelter Insurance Foundation will award two $2000 scholarships, one to a graduate of Lincoln Community High School and another to a graduate of Mount Pulaski High School. Shelter Agent Corey Leonard sponsors and partially funds these scholarships.

A committee of local high school officials and community leaders will select the local recipients. The committee will consider each applicant’s scholastic achievements, educational goals, citizenship, moral character and participation and leadership in school and community activities. The scholarships are given without regard to race, disability, religion, national origin or gender of applicants. The names of the recipients will be announced at the close of the school year.

The students may apply the scholarship funds toward tuition, fees, or campus housing for any course of study beginning the fall after the recipient’s high school graduation and leading to an academic degree at any accredited college or university. The Foundation makes payment directly to the school the recipients selects.

Applications and additional information about the Shelter Foundation Scholarships are now available in January and should be completed and returned to the school official serving on the selection committee by March 31st. For more information, interested seniors should contact their high school counselor or principal or Shelter Insurance Agent Corey Leonard.

The Shelter Insurance Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation for charitable and educational purposes. It is sponsored by the Shelter Insurance Companies – offering auto, home, life, farm and business insurance services to customers in 14 states via a network of local insurance agents and headquartered in Columbia, Missouri.
