The scholarship program was started when previous members bequeathed the Higdon Family Association funds to set up offering scholarships to member's children or grandchildren scholarships to help defray higher education costs. Our current process is one contacts the Scholarship Program Chairperson for the forms to submit before the end of March. All submitted forms are reviewed in April. The committee will then award up to 5 scholarships to students. Or 4 scholarships and one grant to students. The students must be family members of current dues paying members of the Higdon Family Association.
