Sandy Spring Civic Association Scholarship Recipients
Sandy Spring Civic Association has been serving the community for more than 50 years and is proud to award the Ross Boddy/Carolyn Snowden Scholarship to 3 deserving high school seniors.
The Sandy Spring Civic Association is proud to recognize this year’s scholarship recipients—students whose academic achievement, leadership, resilience, and commitment to service reflect the very best of our community. Their stories demonstrate why continued support for the Scholarship Fund is so meaningful: every contribution helps open doors for talented young people as they pursue higher education and prepare to make a lasting impact.
