Horn scholarship is an incredible opportunity for seniors from either El Dorado, Golden Sierra High Schools or Folsom Lake-El Dorado Center who intend to come back to their communities of El Dorado County after college. It was a pleasure to be a part of the committee this year that awarded 5 deserving seniors a significant amount of scholarship money!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Evelyn R. Horn Scholarship Program was established by the Last Will and Testament of Evelyn Horn. This Scholarship is to be awarded to well-rounded students who intend to continue their education towards a bachelor&#8217;s degree. The election committee considers scholastic achievement, school activities, community involvement, and a demonstrated ability to work hard. Need is not a basis for awarding a scholarship nor is it considered.<\/p>\n<p>A unique aspect of this annual scholarship program is that the selection committee focuses on individuals who will return to Placerville or Georgetown after completing their education to benefit the community.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-856\" src=\"http:\/\/www.inedc.com\/22\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/GSHS-Scolo-2-5-28-22.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"737\" height=\"595\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.inedc.com\/22\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/GSHS-Scolo-2-5-28-22.webp 737w, http:\/\/www.inedc.com\/22\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/GSHS-Scolo-2-5-28-22-300x242.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 737px) 100vw, 737px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Evelyn Horn lived in El Dorado County for 35 years.
