Tony Yount Memorial Scholarship

In recommending candidates for the TONY YOUNT MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP, priorities shall be given to students who:

  • Are Chapel Hill High School seniors, on track to graduate
  • Have been on the Chapel Hill High School yearbook staff and/or
  • Are interested in pursuing a degree in history
  • Have an interest in becoming an educator or coach
  • Demonstrate a commitment to social justice and serving others through community volunteerism

*While financial need is not a requirement for this scholarship, the committee may take financial circumstances into account in the event of a tie between equally qualified applicants. Applicants are encouraged to provide financial information if they would like it considered during the selection process.

**Though AI can be useful to help find words to express oneself and check grammar – when reviewing applications, the members of the scholarship selection committees will look for answers that reflect the applicant’s specific experiences and provide examples.
