The purpose of the Laura Graul Memorial Scholarship Fund is to award three $1000 scholarships to graduating Independence Public School seniors; each scholarship supports the education of a student who is pursuing a degree in a different category: performing arts, sports/athletics, and agriculture. The scholarship money is distributed after the students submit transcripts from their first year of college course work.
