MISSION:
The MLK Commemorative Committee is a 501 (C) (3) federal income tax-exempt organization. Our purpose is to provide college scholarships to high school seniors at the following high schools in the area: The Villages Charter High School, Lake Weir High School, Leesburg High School, Wildwood Middle High School, Bellview High School, and Tavares High School. The Committee holds fund-raising activities and events to raise money to fund scholarships. In addition, the Committee hosts an annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Committee Breakfast to honor the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and present the current year’s scholarship awardees to the community.
In furtherance of the dream of Martin Luther King, Jr., the Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Committee awards college scholarships to deserving students who might not otherwise achieve their dream of a college education. We seek out and give the highest consideration to young people who show financial need, have overcome obstacles, have worked to improve their communities, and might be overlooked by traditional scholarships.

The goal of this Scholarship Fund is to help students achieve the dream of a higher education. The Scholarship Fund seeks out students who show financial need and academic promise, and who have overcome obstacles and contributed to their community. This community’s strong support of the recipients is one of the most unique and important attributes of the scholarship. |
