The LW Ruritan Club is excited offering the following Scholarships and Grants for 2026. We want to know about Lovettsville and Waterford’s outstanding students. Now is the time to shine. Applications are being accepted until April 7, 2026.
The Irma & Roger Powell Good Citizen Scholarship recognizes those students that serve their community just like the efforts of the Powells and will be awarded to a student continuing on to a four year university, community college, technical school, or vocational school who has significantly contributed to their school environment and community through their volunteer activities. https://lwruritans.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/GoodCitizen-Scholarship-App-IrmaRogerPowell_2025.pdf

The Buddy Williams Entrepreneurial Grant will be awarded to a student who has started a business/is starting a business and needs an investment of capital either to pay for technical training, licensing, needed equipment or supplies. Not every student wants to attend a four year college or university immediately. This Scholarship is for the dreamers, the inventors, the entrepreneurs, and independent thinkers. Do you want a career in the beauty industry? Starting a landscaping business? Want to work on diesel engines or become a welder? The Entrepreneurial Grant is for you.https://lwruritans.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Entrepreneur-Grant-App-BuddyWilliams_2025.pdf
