Scholarship by Nomination

These scholarships are offered by various organizations for students who meet specific scholarship requirements and are then nominated for the scholarship by the principal, counselor, or scholarship committee.  Several of these scholarships are limited to one student per school, so the selection process is carefully carried out and consideration is given to the student who is the most qualified for the scholarship based on the requirements. Input from classroom teachers and sponsors of various school organizations are used in determining the student’s selection.
