Durham Home, Inc. Continues Scholarships For Montgomery County High School Seniors

Scholarship applications are now available for Montgomery County high school seniors, sponsored by Durham Home, Inc. One scholarship per county high school district will be awarded to a female accepted as a freshman to a college or university in the state of Indiana. Applications are available from guidance counselors at the three Montgomery County high schools. Home schooled students should complete an application from the high school district in which they reside.

“We are thrilled to offer this scholarship for another year and to increase each reward amount to $2,500,” said Lucy Moody, Executive Director of Durham Home. “The Sarah Durham Scholarship will provide financial assistance to three deserving young women in Montgomery County who desire an academic degree. It is an honor to carry on Sarah Durham’s legacy of helping women of all ages especially high school senior girls who want to learn, grow and achieve higher goals for themselves and create a better world for others.”

Durham Home in Crawfordsville offers exceptional living in a historic residence for active and independent women. Residents enjoy private bedrooms, prepared meals, and housekeeping in a beautiful, quiet home. Durham Home is the former residence of civic leaders Sarah E. and George T Durham. Sarah had a vision of providing a luxury residence for women, and therefore left provisions for her home to become Durham Home after her death. The home opened to residents in 1944 and is currently managed by Moody, along with Director Emeritus, Shirley O’Neall. More information about Durham Home, Inc. may be found at www.durhamhome.com.
