Graduating seniors who once attended the former Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School in Madison Valley are invited to apply for a $1,500 Martin Luther King School Dream Foundation scholarship.
Jan Lind-Sherman, a former teacher who taught at the school until it closed in 2006, started the foundation with her husband after winning a large lottery. The foundation gives post-secondary-education scholarships to students who used to attend the school. Since 1999, they have given out more than 100 awards, ranging from $1,000 to $3,500.
Because of recent confidentiality rulings, Lind-Sherman said she hasn’t been able to locate former students to notify them of the opportunity.
