Giving tree
A former Hazelton student and the Dollars For Scholars organization are
both committed to helping Hazelton-Moffit-Braddock High School
graduates as they continue their education. Each year since 2000,
graduating seniors have been awarded scholarships based upon their
academic achievements, community service, personal qualities, and
school involvement. These scholarships, ranging from $8,000 for a
2-year degree to $12,000 for 4 years, were established by a former
student and resident of Hazelton in hopes that someday the recipients
of these scholarships will give back to the community as he has. The
scholarships are being perpetuated by The Giving Tree, which adorns the
hallway at HMB. Engraved leaves with each donors’ name are placed on
the tree as follows: $100-green leaf; $300-$499-green leaf with
asterisk; $500-$999-green leaf with two asterisks; $1000-$4900-gold
leaf; $5000 plus donation-amber gold leaf. This year more than $40,000
in scholarships were awarded at H-M-B.
