Guidelines:

  1. The appearance of your application is important! Proofread carefully, checking for misspelled words, complete sentences, etc. Keep copies for your own records.
  2. Do not use pencil on these (or any) applications. Use pen or type your responses.
  3. STUDENTS are responsible for completing scholarship applications—not parents.
  4. Every senior has been given a 7-semester transcript for copying (KEEP ONE FOR YOUR RECORDS). The HS office will make copies for you if requested.
  5. Remember to use your7 semester cumulative GPA & class rank on all applications!
  6. If your applications have multiple pages, write your name on each page (unless stated otherwise). Please staple all materials together with the application on top (except for FR Alumni Assn. and FRHS General Application—affix with a paperclip instead).
  7. Each scholarship listed below has its own unique application, and most of these applications are available online via the school website (click on High School>Guidance Homepage). Hard copies of the DARE BOOSTERS and the OMER JUTTE scholarships are available in the guidance office.
  8. If you re-type the application, you must include the name of the scholarship application at the top—if an application is on an outdated form or does not have a title, it will not be considered. Be sure to submit 2013 applications.
