Jennifer DeFranco Scholarship
Sometimes we meet someone special! Their smile captures your heart! They cherish life! That was Jennifer DeFranco, who was 15 years old when she passed in a fatal car accident in April of 1998. She was special, she touched many lives with her outgoing personality, and she was always happy! Cheerleading was a big part of her life. Jen was a “flyer” and loved to be on top of the pyramid! This $300 annual scholarship was established by her former teammates to assist a girl who would like to participate in cheerleading.
To apply for the Jennifer DeFranco Scholarship, please complete after downloading the application and submit to the office. Note that K-3rd grade applicants to submit a short video (3 minute maximum) in lieu of writing an essay!
