Wally's
Service Project Scholarship
Friends and family of Wally Niezguski, with the Clarkston Family Farm (CFF), are pleased to announce the second annual Wally’s Service Project Scholarship. This scholarship commemorates the life and legacy of Wally Niezguski, a long-term organic gardener, nature lover, and avid supporter of the CFF.
Our 2024 contest encourages young people to become active in their home communities by asking them to design a service project/event that benefits the whole community, a specific community population (e.g., the food insecure, the handicapped, the elderly), or the local environment. The contest is open to high school seniors in the Avondale, Brandon, Clarkston, Pontiac, Lake Orion, Oxford, and Waterford School Districts planning to attend college or vocational school. Homeschool high school students in any of these school districts are also eligible to participate. The contest’s awardee(s) will be encouraged to present their service project/event proposal to the appropriate local government or organizations for implementation consideration.
The money provided to the contest's awardee(s) will increase their chance for a successful transition from high school to college or vocational school. Learn more about the Clarkston Family Farm, Wally Niezguski, the scholarship contest rules, and how to donate below.
