The participating organizations on this site have agreed to provide scholarships exclusively to IPSD seniors and/or Metea Valley seniors. Each organization will look at the information from their application, along with any required supplements for the particular awards. Some organizations require transcripts, which will automatically be sent to the requesting organizations. The criteria/selection for each award is left to the individual organizations. The number of awards and amounts are subject to change at the discretion of the donating organizations. All scholarships are one-time awards and will be given to recipients after they have been accepted at any accredited college, university, or technical/vocational school. The organization providing the scholarship will let the scholarship winner know how the money will be disbursed. All winners will be awarded at our Black and Gold Senior Awards Event in May.
