The Disneyland® Resort Scholarship Program, open to Orange County high school seniors, is accepting online applications now through January 31.

The Resort will award a total of $50,000 in scholarships to 10 college-bound seniors who demonstrate excellence in volunteerism and leadership. The Resort’s scholarship program recognizes individuals committed to making a difference in the Orange County community.

Amanda Jeries, from Orange County High School of the Arts, was surprised to learn that she was one of the 2009 scholarship recipients. Last year’s honorees were recognized at a special dinner at the Disneyland® Hotel.
