LOCAL SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Seniors, please keep in mind that our local scholarship donors are taking money out of their own pockets to help fund your educational goals.  They deserve your best, original work in your essays and short answer questions.  If you turn in applications that are obviously plagiarized or written with AI, we may notify the scholarship donors so that they can consider that in their awarding process, and your application may not count as one of your ten scholarships required for the Education Foundation Scholarship.

*Available to all SSSD students
