About Gray/Mott:
The Gray/Mott Youth
Scholarship was established in 1989 by the LTPOA. This educational scholarship
is offered annually to assist current graduating high school seniors with
continuing their education at an accredited post-secondary institution of their
choice. The scholarship was named after two special men in our community
who dedicated their time to volunteer service in London Towne, Mr. Charles Gray
and the Mr. Ralph Mott.
Each year, the Foundation has recognized
two students who have demonstrated excellence in community service work. The
original awards were $250.00 each and have been increased to as much as $1,500.00 each -based on fundraising efforts. The awards are non-renewable grants for the graduating
high school senior who will continue his/her education at either a four-year
college or university, or a two-year junior or community college, or an
accredited trade, technical or business school.
In 2014, the program's 25th year, it was necessary for the program to separate from LTPOA to achieve a charitable tax exempt status. This was to accomplish two things: to increase the fund raising possibilities and to release LTPOA from all responsibilities including the dilemma of covering a shortage in funds. The Board of Directors of the Foundation is looking for volunteers and officers. If interested, please email Chair Pam Obee Sargent - pam.obee@verizon.net
