Applications Open For The Wharf Anchor Campaign Scholarship Program

The Wharf has announced that applications are now open for the sixth annual $10,000 scholarship that will be awarded to one graduating high school senior that resides and attends school in Baldwin County in 2026. The scholarship is awarded through The Wharf’s Anchor Campaign. The mission of the campaign is to ensure the strength, safety and security of the local area by supporting children, families and organizations on the Gulf Coast with funds, volunteerism, donations and community partnerships. High school seniors across Baldwin County are eligible to receive the award. They will be evaluated based on community involvement, academic achievement and their response to a written essay from a provided prompt. The Wharf decided in 2025 to increase the runner-up award amount to $2,500.
