Payton’s Project is a local non-profit organization that focuses on improving the mental health of our youth. This $1,000.00 scholarship is awarded to high school seniors who reside in Northern Virginia.
This scholarship is given to seniors who have shown either:
- kindness and inclusiveness to all, or
- high school seniors who have combated bullying in their school career or
- those students who have overcome bullying.
To qualify for this scholarship, the student has only to exemplify these characteristics. Grades and athletic abilities are not important – character and behavior are important.
High school seniors who reside outside of Prince William County can obtain this application at paytonsproject.org. Students who attend public high schools in Prince William County may also access this application through Spark, poweredbyspark.org. The deadline to submit this application is April 1, 2022, and winners will be announced in the latter part of May 2022.
Payton’s Project was a winner of Prince William Living‘s Giving Back Award in 2019.
