In 2022, the Directors of EFMSF developed The Emily Franz Memorial Continued Education Scholarship program. The Committee doesn’t guarantee that there will be funds available each year for continued education scholarships, but will accept applications each year (refer below for key dates). The Continued Education Scholarship is available to ONLY graduates of Shullsburg High School and those graduates that are at a minimum of, two (2) years past their high school graduation (Class of 2025 or earlier are eligible to apply in 2027). The Continued Education Scholarship is available to all graduates of SHS who are presently enrolled in post high school education, have decided to enroll in post high school education for the first time, or have decided to return to post high school education for additional education/training. College graduates choosing to pursue a post-secondary degree are eligible applicants and are encouraged to apply. Any recipient of the Continued Education Scholarship is entitled to reapply each year the Continued Education Scholarship is available. Scholarship funds can be used for unpaid tuition, class & school fees, books, tools and any other expenses billed directly through the school and documented on school billing statements or any equivalent billing documentation (this documentation will need to be provided when payment is requested).
Applicants must fill out the Emily Franz Memorial Scholarship Fund, Inc. Continued Education Scholarship Application which will be available on our website during the determined application period (a link will be available in the future). When submitting your application, please make sure the application and all requested documents are included with your application packet. If you have any issues accessing the application, please send an email to emilyfranzscholarship@gmail.com.
In awarding scholarships, the Selection Committee shall take a broad view of each applicant. The student as a whole person shall be considered. Each item on the application will be considered with no particular emphasis on any one item. Additional requirements will be posted with the application when funds are available and please review those requirements closely.
For 2027, the Continued Education Scholarship application period will be from January 10, 2027 through February 12, 2027. Applications and all supporting documents must be returned by mail and must be postmarked by February 12, 2027.
