Dear Seniors and Parents/Guardians of the WWP South Class of 2014:
We would like to invite you to participate in our local scholarship program. This
program awards monetary scholarships to graduating seniors to help assist them in furthering
their post-secondary education. Attached is this year’s scholarship booklet. Some of these
scholarships utilize our scholarship common application and some organizations utilize their
own application. These specific applications are embedded in this document and hard copies
are also available in the guidance office. For common application scholarships, students should
print and complete the scholarship common application form and checklist (pages 20-24) and
return it to the guidance office by April 21, 2014. Please note that some of the scholarships that
have individual application forms also have earlier deadlines and specific instructions.
Selection criteria vary by award and may be based on any or all of the following: merit,
need, purpose, achievement and contribution to school and community. Therefore, all students
are encouraged to apply. Selection criteria are formulated by the participating organizations,
not by school personnel. The amounts of the awards range from one hundred dollars to several
thousand dollars.
Part II of the common application relating to financial information will be kept
confidential. If you are NOT applying for need based scholarships it is not necessary to complete
Part II. Part I of the application, along with the student’s academic record (grades, GPA, SAT
scores), will be provided to the high school scholarship committee.
This common application form must be returned no later than 3:00 p.m. on April 21,
2014 to Mrs. Morgan in the guidance office. No applications will be accepted after that date.
This procedure has been designed to maintain a high level of confidentiality. Should you
have any questions regarding this process, we would be most happy to assist you. You may call
the Guidance Office at High School South, 716-5050, Ext. 7317.
Sincerely,
Michelle Walsh
