Northern Potter Scholarship

The Northern Potter Scholarship Fund was established by retired Northern Potter School Teacher, Wanda Shirk. It’s grown with the support of numerous community members that are also dedicated to its mission to assist Northern Potter Seniors in a post-secondary education. This scholarship is for Northern Potter School District seniors. The number of scholarships awarded and the dollar amount awarded each year will be determined by funds available. No consideration is to be given to financial need. Applicants must submit a statement of educational/career plans, transcript of academic record, record of extra-curricular/community activities and 200 word essay on “Liberty” and be interviewed by the selection committee.
