The Falconer Foundation awards scholarships on an annual basis to high school seniors enrolled in either Iredell-Statesville Schools or the Mooresville Graded School district. The scholarships may be used for higher education opportunities or the pursuit of a certified trade. And we are READY to
award our second annual scholarship to a current high school senior! Last year the foundation awarded a $10,000 scholarship to a North Iredell High School senior accepted to Brevard College to study Theater.
Another $10,000 scholarship will be awarded again this year to one qualified applicant in order to pursue their higher education or a certified trade. For students thinking about applying, the characteristics below may help you in determining if this opportunity is right for you!
If you decide that you would like to pursue the 2023 scholarship, please fill out the survey form at:
Falconer Foundation Scholarship Interest Survey Spring 2023
All surveys must be completed by 11:59pm on Sunday, February 19, 2023. The Falconer Foundation Board will choose three finalists on Tuesday, February 21, 2023 from the submitted surveys. All applicants will receive email communication about their status on Friday, February 24, 2023. The board then reviews the final submissions and chooses a scholarship beneficiary in April, and the recipient is recognized in a formal awards ceremony at their home school in May.

guiding principles
How have your actions affected those around you or the future? How has your work changed you? To what degree do you enact change or plan to?
What is it that drives you to create or serve? How do you start your endeavors? What is your “why”?
When others stop why do you keep going? What is it about you that refuses to let you rest?
What keeps you up at night? What can you not help but do? What is the thing you love more than anything?
How many have you influenced with your art or have benefitted from your service? How far do you cast your net? Who do you affect?
When others boast do you reflect? How do you promote yourself and your work and actions? How do you see yourself improving? What do you want others to say about you?
What do you envision that others do not? What makes your work distinguishable from others?
What do you dare that no one else would even consider? How do you push yourself past your own limits? What do you fear?
What qualities do you insist upon in your final product? How do you encourage others to align with your expectations?
What makes you who you are? Why are you unique? What do you most like about yourself?
