UCS graduating seniors earn over $40,000 in superintendent scholarships
Community partners of Utica Community Schools have awarded 39 graduating seniors with a scholarship ranging from $500 to $2,000.
Community partners of Utica Community Schools have awarded 39 graduating seniors with a scholarship ranging from $500 to $2,000 to continue their education at a trade school, community college or university.
To be considered for a scholarship, graduating seniors were asked to submit an application and have an appraisal submitted on their behalf from a non-related adult. Applications were reviewed by school and district administration.
“It is an honor to celebrate this group of deserving seniors as they prepare to embark upon their future beyond UCS,” said Superintendent Robert S. Monroe. “Each of this year’s scholarship recipients are to be applauded for their dedication to academic excellence and profound sense of community.”

Critical to making the Superintendent’s Scholarship possible is the UCS Foundation for Educational Excellence. The Foundation, comprised completely of volunteers, is dedicated to supporting the entire school district community and the future of its students.
Also partnering with UCS are six families who have sponsored individual scholarships, including the Lillian and Gus Demas Scholarship, the Lois Holtgren-Groblicki Scholarship, the William R. Peper and Jean E. Peper Scholarships, the Larry M. Smith Scholarship, the Stefan’s Hope Scholarship and the Michele Templeton Scholarship.
