PTSA Scholarships


The Holliston High School Parent Group (HHSPG) and PTSA have merged into one organization as of last school year.  As a result we will award three types of scholarships at the Senior Awards Night on Wednesday, May 30, 2012. Two scholarships are determined by a random draw from a pool of eligible names. One of these awards is based on paid membership dues (either to HHSPG and/or PTSA) for each year the senior has attended HHS. The second random draw award is based on the accumulated number of volunteer shifts worked by the student or his/her parent(s) at the annual Christmas Tree Sale. The third type of scholarships will be awarded based on an essay submission in addition to the membership requirement.  PTSA will be distributing several scholarships of each of three awards.


Applications must be submitted by April 24.  Please confirm eligibility requirements before submitting your application.
