Scholarships awarded each spring by the Cadiz High School Alumni Association are based upon interest earned by an endowment fund maintained by the organization. This fund has grown from contributions of alumni and friends of the former Cadiz High School.

To qualify, students must have achieved a 3.0 grade-point average. The scholarship committee, consisting of F.G. Gregory, Susan Zinko Jamison, Jon Kirkland, Patti Maffitt Sabo and Jeannie Moreland Wheeler, handles an extensive application process.
