Benevolent Scholarship Fund and Scholarships
What is the Benevolent Scholarship Fund?
A Benevolent Scholarship is a "good will" scholarship. Our scholarship's goal is to reduce the amount students in our program pay out of pocket for band related fees, activities, trips, and items. Specific fundraisers will happen during the year that are designated to go to this fund. Students and parents/guardians in the program need to work at and participate in these fundraisers so that we have a large fund of scholarship funds for our students to apply for!
How can I or my student apply for a scholarship?
That application will be located on this page (see above) and in the band room at both SHMS and SHHS. They will be available at all times, but will have a once a month deadline of the 1st of each month to submit for any fees or payments needed, so plan ahead if you have a need or a payment coming up!
Once an application is received and reviewed by our committee award amounts will be emailed to whoever applied with the amount awarded listed and reasons for partial awards or denial of an award. Most common reason an application is denied is lack of participation in fundraising and lack of clear information regarding the student or family's true financial need.
Once an amount has been awarded that amount is paid to the school office and applied toward the fee you requested to be paid. Any difference would then need to be paid out of pocket to the office by the payment deadline.
