The Chincoteague Island Library is offering a $1,000 scholarship for local students graduating in spring 2026. Eligible applicants include high school seniors or home-schooled students who live in Chincoteague or attend Chincoteague High School. The scholarship may be used for tuition at a four-year or two-year college, trade school, or apprentice program starting in fall 2026. A current Eastern Shore Public Library card is required, and the recipient must agree to a photo and public announcement of the scholarship award.
Signed, completed applications and all required supporting documents must be submitted by April 30, 2026, to the library or to the guidance office at Chincoteague High School.
