Sharwell Tucker Application

Thank you for applying for the scholarship awards from the Harry H. Tucker Scholarship Fund and the Joseph & Dora Sharwell Scholarship Fund. These awards are given to high school seniors to continue their Jewish education at the college level at a secular or religious institution in any geographic setting.

The Harry Tucker Scholarship has been awarded to outstanding students since 1990. It is made possible through the generosity of Jewish War Veterans Post #14. The first Joseph & Dora Sharwell Scholarship was given in 1978 and has provided an excellent start to college for many Jewish freshmen.

Young Adult Members, children and grandchildren of Park Synagogue members are eligible to apply for one or both of these scholarships. We hope you can join us when they are presented at the Park Synagogue Annual Meeting, the morning of Sunday, June 22, 2014 at Park Synagogue East.

Application deadline is Friday, May 30.
