The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation is pleased to announce that it is accepting scholarship applications for the Terence J. Centner Agricultural and Environmental 4-H Scholarship. Terence (Terry) J. Centner established this fund to honor his parents, Harry E. and Mary Ellen Centner. Harry and Mary Ellen, residents of the Town of Dunkirk, helped a generation to enjoy a multitude of 4-H projects and activities.
Each year, a scholarship is awarded to a high school senior attending a 4-year college or university and has completed an outstanding agricultural or environmental 4-H project. Graduating seniors from Dunkirk, Fredonia, Brocton, Silver Creek, Forestville, Westfield, and Ripley school systems are encouraged to apply. Application forms are available from the school’s guidance department or by download at www.nccfoundation.org/centner-scholarship. Applicants must return their completed applications to the guidance department by May 1, 2019.
