St. George’s offers scholarships

SPOKANE COUNTY – Scholarship applications are now being accepted for freshmen and sophomores who are in financial need to attend St. George’s School. Depending on the need, the scholarships could be as much as $12,500 per year for three or four years.

The money comes from The Deena Barber Memorial Scholarship Fund, a $50,000 scholarship raised by a group of St. George’s students in memory of the high school history teacher who died before school began in 2008. Barber was also the chair of the school’s fine arts department.

To apply and for more information, call (509) 466-1636, ext. 304, or visit www.sgs.org/admission.
