Paul Farris Memorial Scholarship

Dots

Each year the Farris family will award two or more scholarships, one each to a graduating Senior at Edina High School in Edina, Minnesota and Somerville High School in Somerville, Massachusetts.

The 2011 scholarships were awarded in May. We reviewed many amazing submissions from Edina and Somerville High Schools and selected this year's recipients. The winners are listed on the recipient page.

Please complete your required high school scholarship application first.

 

Application Information and Addendum

The candidate must be a respectful and caring student exhibiting a love of learning and a passion for music, the arts, or another extracurricular activity.

Our family would like the candidate to understand something about Paul's life and what we are doing to ensure that his spirit lives on forever, so take a bit of time and review this website.

 

ADDENDUM QUESTIONS:

  1. Please explain in detail how you are involved with music, the arts, or another extracurricular activity, and why you consider this to be one of your passions.
