Allen Phelps Scholarship
Allen Phelps was a 1974 graduate of Ell-Saline High School where he enjoyed playing the sport of basketball. After spending his youth in the Brookville community, Allen developed the skill as a machinist, a trade in which he worked for over forty years. He never had the opportunity to attend college but would like to support that goal for others through this memorial scholarship. The one-time award will be given annually each spring in the amount of $300.
Requirements for the scholarship include the following:
--Applicants must be a current senior at Ell-Saline High School
--Applicants must have a minimum high school GPA of 3.5
--Must have participated in high school basketball as a player during your junior and senior years.
--This scholarship is available to students planning to attend either a two or four year college.
--The recipient will be selected by a committee consisting of at least two teachers and the school counselor.
--The scholarship award will be sent after the first of August to the Financial Aid Office of the recipient's choice. It will be the recipient's responsibility to contact the District Office with this information.
--If no qualified application is received in a given year, the scholarship for that year will be given to the valedictorian of the class.
