| A SHORT HISTORY OF THE HORN LAKE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION |

| THE PROCESS OF SELECTION |
| INTERESTED SENIORS MAKE APPLICATION WITH AN ACCOMPANYING ESSAY BASED ON THIS BASIC THEME: "WHAT I PLAN TO DO WITH MY EDUCATION IN ORDER TO 'GIVE BACK' TO HORN LAKE HIGH SCHOOL AND THE HORN LAKE COMMUNITY"...THOSE ESSAYS ARE USED BY THE COMMITTEE TO SELECT THE FEW FINALISTS.....THE FINALISTS THEN MEET WITH THE COMMITTEE FOR IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS....AFTER WHICH, THE COMMITTEE HAS THE VERY DIFFICULT TASK OF CHOOSING THE ONE TO RECEIVE THAT YEAR'S SCHOLARSHIP. |
