We strive to continue our annual hallmark event “Frederick Douglass Day” which is held in September. During the event we educate, reconcile, heal and grow our community with knowledge to be proud of and celebrate! We want our diverse community, especially our young people, to see that true heroes can be American patriots who put their country and its citizens first without concern for self-interest as we live in these challenging times. 

THE SELECTION PROCESS:

This application may be used to apply for the scholarship administered by the Frederick Douglass Honor Society Scholarship Committee under the direction of Mid-Shore Community Foundation. Please review the scholarship criteria to make sure that you meet the qualifications.

THE PAYMENT PROCESS:

Scholarship payments will be made directly to the college or university and may be used for tuition, room and board, and any other required school fees and supplies. It is the scholarship recipient’s responsibility to provide the Mid-Shore Community Foundation with documentation from the college or university so that the appropriate payment can be made.

Should the recipient fail to register for any quarter or semester, no payment will be made to the college or university. The college or university must advise the Mid-Shore Community Foundation if the recipient is no longer enrolled full-time and return any unused portion of the scholarship.
