Each year, the Jeffery Isaiah David Memorial Foundation will award scholarships to graduating high school seniors and continuing education students seeking to continue their higher educational goals. The scholarships are allocated for the current school year. They must be utilized to assist with expenses related to attending college, vocational, or trade school of their choice for tuition, fees, and/or materials. This is offered twice a year, so there will be two due dates each semester.
