The Columbia County Historical Society will award a $2,000 scholarship to a Columbia County resident who is graduating from high school in the Class of 2025 and planning to pursue a college education in the fall.

While students must reside in Columbia County to qualify for the scholarship, they can attend any public, private or charter high school in the area.

Homeschooled students are eligible for the scholarship as well. The scholarship money will be paid directly to the higher education institution that the winning student will attend in the fall.

The completed application packet must be postmarked no later than April 1 and sent to the Columbia County Historical Society, Attention: Scholarship Contest, P.O. Box 203, Appling, GA 30802.
