Available Scholarships
Attention Seniors – Scholarship season is here! Did you know that last year’s senior class was awarded over $3.5 million dollars in scholarships? Let’s make this year the best year ever for scholarship awards. Many scholarships have deadlines coming up right away. Scholarships are available for all students who have a desire to attend college. Go to the Counseling Office often to get the latest information on scholarships and pick up applications.
The Caleb Larson Foundation Cowboyin’ for the Kids $1,000 Scholarship is available in the Counseling Center. This scholarship was inspired by the brave battle of two amazing little cowboys, Caleb Larson and McCrae Trammell. Both boys were diagnosed with neuroblastoma childhood cancer. Students will need to include a transcript and two letters of recommendation with their application. Students must maintain a 2.5 GPA in order to receive the spring semester award for $500. The deadline to apply is May 5, 2017.
For more scholarships available go to WHS April Scholarship Newsletter.
