SCHOLARSHIPS
In 1987, the Sunfield Area Sponsors of Programs for Youth (SPY’s) began awarding scholarships to deserving high school seniors. To date, almost $300,000 has been given in scholarships and recognition awards. Scholarship application packets are available online at www.sunfieldareaspys.com.
In 2020: The Sunfield SPY's announced the addition of a separate Trade's Scholarship program. This is an additional scholarship that will be awarded to an eligible graduating senior that wishes to enter a trade. Check out the Scholarship Application/Trades Scholarship Application for more information and eligibility criteria!
We also award the Lade Military Service Honorarium for students entering the military, as well as the Richard Lenon Award that is based solely on Community Service.
