PART 1: Complete ONCE
PART 1
asks general information about you and your high school career. You will complete Part I only once!
|
PART 2: Complete for EACH Scholarship
PART 2
allows you to select the specific scholarship to which you want to apply. Locate the ones that apply to you and fill out the specific, supplementary information for that scholarship.
You can apply to as many scholarships as you like, but you will need to complete PART TWO for each one.

Application Tips
- Make sure you meet the eligibility criteria before applying
-
Copy and paste your essay/answers from another document (review for spelling and grammar)
- Read the Essay Prompt(s) carefully and make sure your essay answers the prompt
-
Review your information before submitting to avoid unnecessary typos and errors
|
If you apply for a VHHS Scholarship that requires a Letter of Recommendation, DO NOT ASK A TEACHER OR RECOMMENDER TO WRITE A LETTER.
We will either use an existing letter of recommendation that is already in Scoir or we will send the recommender an evaluation form to complete after you apply. You do NOT need to submit Transcript Request Forms for VHHS-specific Scholarships.
Most scholarships will be announced at the VHHS Honors Day Assembly on May 20, 2024.

The
D128 Scholarship Database
compiled by VHHS and LHS provides a curated list of local, regional, national, and trades/vocational scholarship opportunities, as well as links to national scholarship search engines. Several local scholarships that are listed in this database and outlined below are also highlighted in our VHHS Scholarship Program Guide.

We receive information about local scholarships (that have been awarded to VHHS students in the past) from now through the spring. You can find these scholarships highlighted in our VHHS Scholarship Program Guide under the D128 Scholarship Database overview section. Currently, only the
Sports Lodge B'nai B'rith Scholarship Application
is available, but others will be added as we receive the information so check here regularly! Please note, these are NOT considered VHHS-specific Scholarships as students from other local high schools can apply, so you will need to submit the completed application directly to the organization and request transcripts/letters of recommendation via our
Transcript Request Form
.
