Scholarship Procedures and Information
Scholarship Transcript Requests
Almost every scholarship requires a transcript. In order to make this an easier process, seniors may click on this Class of 2024 Scholarship Transcript Request Form. Counseling staff are monitoring these requests and will be working individually with students and families to ensure we get you exactly what you need. There are two types of scholarship transcripts we can provide:
Scholarship/Unofficial Transcript - upon request, we will give students one of these and you may copy this for all scholarships that do not require an official transcript
Official Scholarship Transcript - we will need to know exactly what scholarship this is for and the due date. The student will be provided what is needed in a sealed envelope to include with their scholarship application.
