Please read and follow the instructions before proceeding to the scholarships as some of them are to be mailed by the student while others are turned in to Guidance for processing. BE SURE TO READ ALL CRITERIA BEFORE SUBMITTING APPLICATIONS. Failure to do so could eliminate your candidacy.
Because of the large number of scholarship applications received by the Guidance Office, (and, with the Guidance Office closed for April vacation), ALL of the scholarships listed on this page MUST be turned in to the Guidance Office TWO days prior to April Break unless noted otherwise. If you have questions regarding the application process, please reach out to Ms. Armes for assistance.
