Purchase Holiday Cards to Support the PTA Scholarship Fund

front cover of cardThe SHS PTA Scholarship Fund for College provides one-year grants to college-bound seniors. Graduating seniors of Scarsdale High School who are pursuing higher education are eligible to apply. These grants, generally ranging from $1,000 to $7,500, are made to seniors in good standing and who will receive a SHS diploma, on the basis of demonstrated financial need. There is no fixed number of recipients. Each year, awards are based on need, the number of qualified applicants, and available funds.

The Scholarship Fund Grant Committee makes allocations and administers the fund. All applications are held in the strictest confidence; applications are reviewed by number and not by name. The money available each year for scholarship grants comes from contributions by individuals, foundations, local businesses and community groups who have responded to an annual appeal, and from sales of "Gift of Education" and "Holiday" cards (currently on sale at their website here: https://www.scarsdaleschools.k12.ny.us/Page/23973)

Applications are available in January and may be obtained from any Dean at the High School or online. Completed applications should be submitted to the Scholarship Committee no later than May 5, 2017.
