The requirements for applying for the scholarship include: demonstrated academic proficiency and ability to succeed at accredited college, university or vocational school; must show evidence of financial need as reported on the FAFSA's Student Aid Report; active participation in community and school activities; and be a graduate of Wawasee High School. Special consideration will be given to those students residing in Van Buren and east of Jefferson Townships in recognition of Charlton's being born and residing in those townships.

Previous graduates who are now enrolled in college or a vocational school may also apply. Scholarships will not be awarded for post graduate studies.

The applications are available at the Wealth Advisory Services Office of 1st Source Bank, 325 S. Lake St., Warsaw. The completed appLication must be received by 5 p.m. April 2 in the 1st Source Bank Wealth Advisory Services Department Warsaw office at 325 S. Lake St., Warsaw.
