General Guidelines:
The goal is to award a total of up to thirteen individual $2,000 scholarships to DCSD seniors who meet key criteria.  Each DCSD traditional and alternative high school should be represented by a graduating senior as a scholarship recipient.

The primary purpose of these scholarships is to assist students who might not otherwise be able to continue their education and who demonstrate a unique ability to persevere through life's challenges.  These scholarships are for one year only (non-renewable) and may be used for any college or vocational program.  Money is transferred directly to the recipient's postsecondary college or institution (not directly to the student).

Please submit this completed application by Friday, February 17, 2023 at 3pm.  

Scholarship recipients and their parents will be invited to attend a District Administrator's meeting in May for an awards presentation where high school principals will present the awards.  We encourage the student's family, counselor, and a favorite teacher (from any grade) to also attend. Please refer questions to your high school counselor.

Criteria For Selection:
Scholastic Record - Include your GPA and any test score available.
School/Community work experience should be included in the space provided.
Applicant's responses to short essay questions.
Financial Need - The need for financial assistance is a major factor of consideration.  A parent/guardian must sign in the space designated.  Your application will not be considered if information for this section is missing or incomplete.

Due Date:  Submit this completed application by Friday, February 17, 2023 at 3pm.
