CAPE is a non-profit organization devoted to supporting Big Walnut schools, its students, and the many people who work to create a welcoming and effective learning environment.
This scholarship is funded by CAPE in honor of Barb Shelby, former BWLSD Board of Education member and longtime champion of the students within our community.
Barb is a woman of courage and action who founded the organization. Her many good works are celebrated through this honorary scholarship award in her name.
The Community Advocates for Public Education (CAPE) Barb Shelby Honorary Scholarship is intended for students in the Golden category who plan to major in education, social work, or psychology. Ideally, applicants will have demonstrated an ongoing commitment to supporting our community by volunteering with organizations such as WARM, BWFWS, MidOhio Foodbank, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, or 4-H.
