Our applications are accepted yearly after a student has completed the spring semester of high school or college. The application is due by June 30, 2025. All of your information must contain the pertinent information requested after the 2025 school year has ended in May. Higher education is the Club's major focus for Cherokee students. Ten (10) scholarships in the amount of $1,000 are awarded each year to students enrolled in an accredited institution of higher education including college, university or vocational school.  There are no scholarships awarded for a Spring semester. There are no applications accepted in January. Scholarships are only awarded one time per year with a due date of June 30. Only current scholarship recipients submit spring information to continue their eligibility. Scholarship applications are only accepted after the SY 2024-25 has ended. Selected scholarship recipients will be notified in July.
