The deadline to apply for the Creek County Democratic Party’s $1500 scholarships is drawing near. The deadline is March 1, 2024.
The competition is open to all graduating seniors who 1) are residents of Creek County and 2) are either registered Democrats or have at least one parent or guardian who is a registered Democrat in Creek County, Oklahoma. Up to two $1500 scholarships will be awarded this year. In past years, scholarships have been awarded to students from Bristow, Mannford, Depew, Kellyville, Drumright, and Sapulpa.
Public school, private school, and home-schooled students are welcome to apply. The scholarships can be used at any accredited trade school, vocational school, or institution of higher education. You do not have to be college-bound to apply.
Details are available on Facebook at Creek County Democrats. Applications can be obtained by emailing CreekCountyDemocratScholarship@gmail.com, or by calling Lynne Belcher at 918-247-6674. Applications are also available from all county high school counselors, as well as on the Facebook page.
Applications must be postmarked no later than March 1, 2024, to be considered. The awards will be presented at the April meeting of the Creek County Democratic Party.
