This scholarship was established in honor of a dear friend of our school district – Mr. Robert Cipriano. Athletics was always a vital component in a child’s educational experience and this fund was established to keep that memory alive in the minds of our students. Taking the top student who exemplifies this in their life is a way to encourage health & wellness as a lifestyle. Below are the requirements that will need to be fulfilled in order for a student to be considered for this scholarship.
