Scholarships
OTHS Community Awards
Osgoode Township High School is fortunate to have a community that supports our graduating students who are moving on to post secondary education. We have quite a few Community Awards available.
Each year teachers and staff nominate students to be considered for some of these awards, however, if you have participated in clubs, sports, community service or other school spirit activities and feel that you may be a good candidate for an award, please consider submitting your name and a short paragraph outlining how you contributed to OTHS during your four years in high school.
Your submission will be considered by the Community Awards Selection Committee in June.
