How will I know if I am the recipient of one or more of the local scholarships?
Students will be called to the SFHS Counseling Office to pick up an information letter regarding the scholarship presentation program. Staff ask that students view this as a mandatory event, as we have organizations that will be coming to the program to present scholarships in person. Students will not find out which scholarship(s) they have been chosen for until the night of the program. Because there may be multiple scholarships given to a student and as a show of gratitude to donors, we would like to make sure that students attend the entire program.
