We are excited to announce that the Nancy Goeke Scholarship Foundation will once again be supporting the Orchard Farm High School graduating class, and this year we are proud to provide three $2,000 scholarships.

The Nancy Goeke Scholarship Foundation will be awarding three $2,000 higher education scholarships this school year. These scholarships are one-time grants designed to assist graduating high school seniors in pursuing their goals of furthering their education.

Applications are available through the Orchard Farm High School counselor’s office.

We are grateful for the continued support of our amazing community that allows us to give back to the students of the Orchard Farm School District in memory of Nancy. ❤️
