Based on the theme “How I Made a Difference in My Community,” the Scholarship Fund awards college scholarships to Prince George’s County High School seniors who are actively engaged in giving back to their communities. “Unlike traditional academic or athletic scholarships, these are given based on the students local community service efforts”, said Donald Frederick, Chair of the Scholarship Committee.
