In 2011 the City Council created the Local School Scholarship Fund. The purpose of the School Scholarship Program is to promote additional education beyond high school graduation. The program is designated to create educational opportunities for students residing in the City of Edgewater to encourage them to pursue college, university or qualified Career Technical Training Programs after graduating from high school.

That same year, the first annual “Princess Ball” was held. Each year this is an exciting night for the children of our community to enjoy an evening of dancing, music, light refreshments and fun with their parents, relatives and friends. Several local businesses and volunteers help support the event and make it a memorable occasion. This event is the primary fundraiser for the Local School Scholarship Fund.
