8th grade Parents….see below for information about the Kleeman Scholarship!

Dear 8^th Grade Parents/Students:

In the summer of 2011, the family of Joy Kleeman established the Joy N. Kleeman Scholarships. Four scholarships were established in the amount of $2,500 each. The candidates for these scholarships are Savannah Christian students in grades 9, 10, 11, and 12. Candidates should be students with good academic credentials, community involvement and have an interest in pursuing a career in education. One scholarship is awarded annually to a member of each Upper School Class.

All 8^th Grade Students are invited to apply for the 2017-2018 Scholarship for 9^th Grade. The scholarship would renew annually provided that the recipient is making satisfactory academic progress. Please contact Janet Pigott in the middle school office for the application.
