Nine superstar graduates from the St. Joseph Public Schools system will share in $45,000 in scholarship monies following news of their selection to the 2021 St. Joseph Public Schools Foundation Scholarship series from several generous donors. 
Each of the nine students has been awarded a $5,000 college scholarship to be used for tuition, fees, books and on-campus housing. The scholarship committees, chaired by a Foundation Board member and three community members, thoroughly review each application and determine applicants to interview. Selection is a difficult task for certain, as each candidate has strengths and worthy attributes. Congratulations to these outstanding seniors from the St. Joe High School Class of 2021.
