Sherrard Academic Foundation Scholarship

"Thank you so much for awarding me with a scholarship! I can barely put into words what that means to me. I am so excited to begin college soon, and being able to pay for it has been a weight lifted off of my shoulders! A million thanks! In four years I hope to graduate with a bachelors in forensic chemistry!"
