The Davis County Dollars for Scholars application is due April 1st...however, if you had started your application prior to school closure and now can not complete the process, you will still be considered for scholarship monies. We do not want to penalize students unable to access their accounts once away from the school building. Questions? Please contact Anne Morgan @ 208-1017.
