Senior Parents - this is your timely reminder that the Booster Club awards four scholarships valued at $500 each. Applicants must be graduating seniors who intend to enroll in a postsecondary institution, which may be a public or private university, college, or vocational/technical college. Students who are in good standing, have shown school spirit and demonstrate leadership skills either in or out of school are eligible to apply. Starting this spring we will no longer require a specific category for applications.
The application form is simple and straight forward and must be turned in to the counseling office by April 1. Good luck and can't wait to read your essays! Here is the link.
