The Zachary Ruble Memorial Scholarship is available to graduates of
Mason County High School, Maysville, Kentucky.
BACKGROUND
The Zachary Ruble Memorial Scholarship program was established by Jay and Paula Ruble in memory of their son, who passed away unexpectedly in April of 2009. An honor student at the University of Utah, Zachary had an intense passion for protecting the environment, and practiced conservation and recycling. During most of his senior year in high school, he rode his bicycle to school in an attempt to encourage others to conserve. He was an Eagle Scout, and an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed rock climbing, backpacking, snow skiing, and water sports. A 2008 honors graduate of Mason County High School, Zachary maintained a 4.0 grade point average, while still finding the time to play on the school's soccer and tennis teams, and to participate in community service projects.
This scholarship was created to reward students who have demonstrated academic excellence while maintaining involvement in community projects, athletics, and extracurricular activities. Financial need is not a factor in the selection process.
ELIGIBILITY
First-time applicants must be members of the current graduating class at Mason County High School, Maysville, Kentucky.
Applicants must be under the age of 25 at the time of initial application. Scholarships may be applied towards up to the equivalent of four full academic years, and may applied toward undergraduate, graduate, or professional school studies. A recipient shall have five calendar years, commencing from their graduation from high school, to utilize the scholarship.
Members of the families of the directors or staff of the Foundation, and of the original donors, are ineligible.
Applicants must be planning to attend an accredited U. S. college or university.
High school students must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or better, and an ACT score of 25 or higher (or SAT of 1150 or higher.). College students must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better to retain their scholarships.

"Complete" applications include the application form, all required attachments, and letters of recommendation (if applicable). Specific instructions will be included in the application form.
SELECTION; AMOUNT OF AWARD
Selection is based on academics, extra-curricular activities, participation in sports, and community involvement. Achievements both in and out of the classroom will be considered. Every effort is made to finalize the selection of recipients by the end of May, but delays are often unavoidable due to the nature of the selection process.
