HOMER AREA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS

The George and Betty Petredean Scholarship
George and Betty Petredean feel very fortunate that they had caring adults who encouraged and assisted them in pursuing a college education. They have established the George and Betty Petredean Scholarship Fund for graduates of Homer High School. Each year, two graduates are awarded a scholarship, which is renewable for four years. "We've had so much," said George Petredean. 'We're very appreciative of what we have had and enjoy sharing our good fortune. I hope later in life the scholarship recipients will be able to do the same."
Recipients of this scholarship should exhibit strong academic performance, leadership skills, and community involvement and be graduates of Homer High School. This Scholarship is $2,000 yearly (which is renewable) upon meeting certain requirements for three years for a total of $8000.00.
