AARON COLT MITCHELL MEMORIAL FUND

The Aaron Colt Mitchell Memorial Scholarship Fund was created in memory of Aaron Colt Mitchell (1990-2008), a Shippensburg Area Senior High School honor student and athlete.

The ACM Memorial Scholarship Fund honors Aaron's life and future ambitions by encouraging the pursuit of higher education to local high school students.

The purpose of the scholarship fund is to annually award one Shippensburg Area Senior High School student with a $1000 scholarship to assist with the cost of attending a 4 year college or university. The award recipient must demonstrate a commitment to academic excellence, participation in extra-curricular activities, and an active pursuit of future ambitions and goals.

The ACM Memorial Scholarship Fund is solely made possible by generous individual donations, as well as contributions from local businesses and organizations. Your donation is vital for the success of the scholarship. All donations are tax deductible.
