CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNER OF THE 2020 SUGAR SPUN RUN SCHOLARSHIP: MARGARET FLUHARTY OF OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY

January 1st, 2021 I will begin accepting applications for the 2021 Sugar Spun Run Scholarship. Please keep in mind that the prompts are subject to change between now and then.

Sugar Spun Run is proud to announce that we will be awarding a $500 scholarship to one high school senior or college student who authors a winning essay for the Annual Sugar Spun Scholarship.

As a college graduate myself, I’m all-too aware of the increasing cost of college tuition, housing, and textbooks! I’m very excited for this opportunity to give back and to help fund the cost of college tuition for one student each year!
