This scholarship is a tribute to Mr. Norman Hill, who has dedicated countless years to serving and supporting school districts across southeast Arkansas. This scholarship is specifically designed for the children and grandchildren of current SEARK Co-op employees. This is our way of giving back to the families who make our service cooperative successful.
The official scholarship application and the submission deadline will be distributed and announced during the Spring Semester. Please watch for emails and announcements at that time!
To kick off the scholarship fund, we are launching our first fundraiser: a Very Merry Christmas Shirt Sale!
