Founded over 80 years ago by local business owners, the New Baltimore Civic Club is a social group that raises funds for the needs of the local community. Each year, the club awards a scholarship to a student who not only excels academically, but also shows community involvement.

To be eligible for the scholarship, students must reside in New Baltimore, be students at Anchor Bay High School or the local school district, or be a dependent of an active member of the Civic Club. They must also submit a short essay. Applications had to be submitted by the end of April.
