The deadline to apply for the Marshall Community Foundation’s Joseph R. Scalf Memorial Scholarship for Non-Traditional Students is May 1.

The Foundation offers the scholarship to one full- or part-time non-traditional student returning to a two- or four-year institution after being out of school for one year or more.

Single parents, displaced workers and homemakers are among those encouraged to apply, according to a press release from the Foundation.

Applicants are also asked to submit GPA and a financial information form that may or may not be used to determine the recipient.

Joe Scalf was passionate about music and film, and had a deep love for his family; applicants should write about their passions as well, including how those passions motivate them to pursue their goal.
