Marvin E. & Dorothy S. Bodine Scholarship

Western Indiana Community Foundation

The applicant(s) will be a graduate of Covington High School and a resident of the Covington school district for at least a year (or two consecutive semesters) prior to the application. The applicant(s) must be or plan to be accepted as a full- time (minimum of 12 hours) student at any two-year or four-year accredited college or university, with preference to an institution located in Indiana. All Covington High School seniors are eligible to apply for this scholarship. The primary purpose of the scholarship is to provide financial assistance to students that are pursuing a career in teacher education. However, in the event there are no teaching students who have applied, those who meet all other criteria will be considered for the scholarship. The applicant(s) must have a minimum G.P.A. of 2.0. Several criteria are to be taking into consideration when selecting recipients. The two most important criteria are of near equal importance: a) letters of reference and b) scholarship application essays.
