About the Scholarship
The Robert Stewart Memorial Scholarship encourages Otsego High School juniors and seniors to pursue math and science related degrees at top universities. The scholarship is awarded to either a junior who will spend the summer between their junior and senior year attending undergraduate-level classes at select schools; or to a graduating senior who will pursue a bachelors degree.

Scholarship Amount
Currently, the scholarship consists of two parts: a $2500 award which will be given out at most once per year; and an endowment to which anyone may contribute. As the endowment grows, the size and number of awards will increase.
Donations to the Robert Stewart Memorial Scholarship can be made through the Otsego Public Schools Foundation's Contribution Website: http://www.opsfoundation.org/MakeAContribution.htm. Donations can be made via credit card or by check, and in either case, contributors must indicate that their gift is intended for the scholarship.
