April- The Scholarship Month!

So far April is shaping up to be our biggest month for scholarships! We have many, many which are due throughout this month with key dates being April 15 and 20. Make sure you check this blog, the bulletin and the scholarship box often so you don’t miss out.

A note about local scholarships: We really encourage you to apply for any and all of the local scholarships you are eligible for because often, there aren’t that many seniors who apply for them and sometimes, they don’t get awarded. That is money that could be going to help fund your college education! Don’t let those opportunities slip away, apply!

The Native Sons of the Golden West are offering a scholarship in the amount of $300. This scholarship is open to any EHS graduating senior.
