The Sterling Heights Community Foundation and its associates are offering yet another record number of scholarships this spring totaling $35,000 for college bound high school seniors and current college students living in Sterling Heights and Macomb County. This second consecutive record-breaking scholarship season includes an increase in the amount of the awards offered in two of the scholarship categories. General Dynamics Land Systems has doubled the number and amount for its recipients, opting to award four $1000 scholarships this year.
