Norwalk has five scholarships for high school seniors

NORWALK - For the second year in a row, the City of Norwalk, in collaboration with Athens Services, is hosting the Environmental Awareness Scholarship, which recognizes local high school seniors who are active in their community and show an interest in environmental issues. 

Five $1,000 scholarships will be awarded and may be used towards reimbursement of registration or tuition fees at any college, university or trade school. 

To be eligible, students: 

• Must be a senior in a public or private high school 

• Reside in Norwalk 

• Have a minimum 2.0 GPA 

The Norwalk Education Alliance Committee will review applications and recommend candidates to the Norwalk City Council, who will decide on the top five entries. Selections will be based on GPA, essay, volunteer work and extracurricular activities. Scholarship recipients will receive notification in early July. 

Applications are available on the recycling webpage on norwalk.org. Completed applications and requested materials must be submitted at recycling@norwalkca.gov by Thursday, June 11 at 6 p.m.
