The Don and Lois Colton Academic Scholarship Committee invites applications from close relatives of Don and Lois Colton for scholarships that reward excellence in post-high-school performance during recently ended semesters. The standard for academic excellence is a grade point average of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale. Standards for other kinds of excellence (like in Trade School) should be referred to Lois. The typical award is $250 per semester, $500 per calendar year. The money is paid directly to the applicant and can be used for anything.  Here is the fine print.

The email address to apply or ask questions is "scholar@loiscolton.com".

1. You must be a child or grand child of Don and Lois Colton.

2. You must be doing post-high school educational activity full-time (typically 12 credits).

3. The scholarship is for $250 per semester or quarter (at least 10 weeks long), limit two per year at this time. Terms may be combined to make a semester.

4. You can apply after the semester ends and you have your final grades.

5. You can apply by email.  A pdf file or jpg file can be sent as an attachment. The scholarship money will be sent via Zelle.  Please include a newsy paragraph telling us what you are studying and where, and how you are progressing.  Include a copy of your report card or other evidence of your GPA for that semester.  Maybe even include a handsome photo so we remember what you look like.
Questions, Applications, Variances, etc. email us.

Love, Lois & Don
