Apply for the Joey Edwards Memorial Award
The Joey Edwards Memorial Award is only awarded to a senior at Central Bucks High School (South, East and West) in an amount to be determined.
Criteria for selection:
Joey Edwards was known for being a uniquely kind and caring person who touched many lives. The scholarship committee is looking to recognize an individual who understands the importance of spreading kindness and has made a positive difference in the lives of others.

Senior planning on attending a 2- or 4-year college or accredited institution of higher education.
Completion of an essay (see below).
Testimonial from an individual who can attest to the kind acts you have shared.

Applications must be submitted through the Kind Like Joey website. All applicants’ eligibility will be confirmed with the senior office when the application is received.
