Holliston PTO Scholarship
The Holliston PTO will award a scholarship at Senior Awards Night (HHS to determine date).
The PTO Essay Scholarship - $1,500 will be awarded to one recipient based on a written essay submission (200-650 words) in addition to the PTO membership requirement for at least two of the four years attending Holliston High School. The scholarship recipient will be chosen by a committee of non-senior parents.
Scroll down for the written essay prompt options. In addition, a Holliston High School Scholarship Application is required, but do not send us your EFC financial information or activities resume. Visit Join or Renew to pay dues. Payments in arrears are accepted. Add the number of 1-year memberships to your order cart that you wish to purchase ($25 per year). All families are welcome to join Holliston PTO. If the membership fee presents a financial hardship, please contact your school guidance counselor, school administrators or email hollistonpto@gmail.com. All waiver requests are confidential.
Eligibility for the PTO Scholarship:
You must have paid PTO membership dues for at least two of the four years of student’s career at Holliston High School. If your family has not been a PTO member for two of your high school years, your parent can join and purchase two years’ membership by following the instructions on the membership page. The PTO Scholarship Committee will confirm your paid membership status - if necessary, we will contact you to give you the opportunity to bring your membership status up to date so that you may be considered for the PTO scholarship.
The graduating senior is continuing his/her education full time in the fall.
Verification from HHS administration and guidance that the applicant is in good academic and civic standing by providing your transcript. (This will be completed by PTO Scholarship Committee.)
Essay Prompt Options - Please choose one:
If you are applying for the PTO Essay Scholarship, please write an essay in response to one of the following prompts and return your 200-650 word essay and HHS scholarship application to HHS Guidance by all deadlines presented by the guidance office. DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR NAME AT THE TOP OF THE WRITTEN ESSAY PAGE SO THAT THE SUBMISSIONS CAN REMAIN ANONYMOUS TO THE PTO SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE.
Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, please share your story.
Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.
Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you’ve already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design.
