Red Devil Spirit Scholarship

Sujit MenonNews

The Hinsdale Central PTO will award $10,000 worth of scholarships to selected graduating seniors to help them meet the expenses of their first year of college.  Depending on the number of qualified applicants, the PTO will award $1000 and/or $2000 scholarships to up to 10 individuals.
Candidates will be chosen based on financial need, involvement at HCHS and a typed 400-600 word personal statement describing what they love about being a Red Devil, what Red Devil characteristics they will bring with them to their college experience and how they will do so.
Applicants are not restricted as to the school they choose to attend, nor is there a minimum GPA requirement.  All applicants must be enrolled full time at the school of their choice to receive the scholarship.
Applications can be found in the Guidance office, as well as at this link.
 
The application deadline is Monday, March 15th and winners will be announced at the Senior Scholarship ceremony on May 17th.  Good luck!
