Angel of Hope for Covington County announces the opening of applications for the 2025 Angel of Hope for Covington County Scholarship.

Dedicated to fostering hope and healing, Angel of Hope for Covington County was established in 2022 to create a Memorial Garden in Andalusia, providing a place of reflection for grieving parents and those affected by the loss of a child of any age.

In its commitment to supporting local students who have experienced personal loss or adversity, Angel of Hope for Covington County will award a $1,500 scholarship to one graduating senior from each of the six high schools in Covington County: Andalusia, Opp, Florala, Pleasant Home, Red Level, and Straughn. The selection committee will evaluate applicants based on their personal essay, academic performance, extracurricular activities, work experience, and community service.

The scholarship application and requirements may be accessed at https://forms.gle/brhusAsNpzMjQoDG6. Applicants must complete the form and submit the required documents.

The essay should narrate the applicant’s experience with adversity, how they overcame the challenge, and how this resilience will shape their future. Essays must be written by the applicant.

The submission deadline is Friday, April 18, 2025, at 3 p.m. Incomplete applications will not be considered. If no completed applications are received from a school by the deadline, no scholarship will be awarded to that school.
