The West Orange Foundation has opened its annual scholarship opportunity for area students, The Danniel J. Petro Foundation Scholarships.
The scholarship fund, administered by the West Orange Chamber of Commerce, was established to help students from local high schools further their education at Valencia College, Orange Technical College or the University of Central Florida. The foundation is able to fund the scholarships through the contributions of the Petro Family Foundation and Duke Energy.
To qualify, eligible senior students must live in either Dr. Phillips, Gotha, Horizon West, Lake Avalon, MetroWest, Oakland, Ocoee, Orlo Vista, Pine Hills, Windermere or Winter Garden; attend a high school in one of these service areas; have a current GPA of 2.75 (weighted or unweighted); and apply to attend Valencia, UCF or OTC.

Eligible students should complete the application in its entirety, which includes a list of activities, leadership positions and honors, community involvement and special recognition awards and honors, along with a personal essay in which they should describe themselves and provide information about their most significant accomplishment.
