Scholarships
For over 50 years, The Traffic Club has awarded scholarships to local college students related to our members.We view this as an essential part of our community involvement and an ideal way to help the next generation toward their goals. The Club sponsors at least one award annually of a minimum of $1500, and in some years provides additional $1000 awards depending on the number of students applying, the quality of the submissions, and available funds. These awards are based on academic performance, community involvement, and the candidate’s presentation of themselves through an essay submitted as part of their application. Scholarship opportunities are open to all Traffic Club members and their families.
