Back in 2017, a group of dedicated citizens from Evart got together to envision how they might be able to make high quality education affordable for all graduates of Evart High School.

 

Now there are over 30 graduates from Evart Public Schools currently benefiting from the Evart Promise Plus Scholarship Program.

 

“Every student in the Evart Public School District is eligible for up to $10,000 in scholarship money for college or a skilled trade.” Executive Director Jacqui Gorczewicz said.

“What is great about Evart Promise Plus is that it is solely funded by the community and surrounding communities.”

 

On April 22nd, there will be a fundraising effort called the Boots and Pearls gala for Evart Promise Plus.

 

“The event starts at 5pm at the Osceola County Building Evart Fairgrounds, there will be games and silent auctions which will lead into a live auction event then dinner and music and dancing.” “This is the first gala that we have had so we really wanted to make it fitting for the community and thought the boots and pearls theme was a really good idea.” Gorczewicz said.
