Please mark: Attention: Scholarship Committee
This applicant needs to not only be an upstanding citizen of our community, but also truly represent what it means to be a volunteer. A Volunteer in the truest sense means to offer oneself or ones services for some undertaking or purpose; a person who performs a service willingly and without pay. This scholarship will be awarded to the applicant that possesses all of these attributes and can thus depict the heartfelt devotion our members Lucy Bowman and Marion Kerr have made to the Simsbury Volunteer Fire Company Auxiliary during their many years of service.
