2024 Scholarship Tea
The annual Ashdown Scholarship Tea was held on Sunday, April 21, 2024, at 2 p.m. at Ashdown High School. Seventy-eight scholarships of over $ 50,190 were given to 37 Ashdown High School Seniors.
The Scholarship Committee has awarded over 100% of all donated moneys for some time due to investments. We plan to continue this trend and strive both to recognize students’ needs and to reward their hard work and high aspirations.
Last year, we awarded 76 scholarships with a total value of over $49,000. The committee has authorized an alumni fund through which former students of Ashdown High School, businesses, or other individuals may contribute to the program in any amount and at any time. Such contributions may be made in honor or memory of friends and loved ones. Scholarships are tax deductible and may be sent to Ashdown Public Schools, 751 Rankin St., Ashdown, AR 71822. You may attention your correspondence to: Ashdown Scholarship Committee or call 903-826-4434 if you have any questions.
Committee Chairperson Ronda Pounds said, “Each year we are so thankful to be able to award these scholarships through generous donations from alumni, businesses, and our local community. We would like to thank all of the donors for allowing us to continue honoring our deserving seniors from Ashdown High School. We would also like to encourage businesses, as well as individuals to support the scholarship program.”
