  • Click here to join the RHS Scholarships 2022 Google Classroom!

    Turn in the applications to Google Classroom before the deadline of Thursday, March 31, 2022.

    Read the requirements for each scholarship and apply only for those scholarships for which you are eligible. If the requirements of the scholarship state "RHS student," only current students at RHS may apply. There is no limit to the number of scholarships you may apply for. Submit all applications on the correct form or to the correct Google Classroom post. If a donor requires a special form, do not substitute it with the general one; use the one that is provided. Special forms are linked in the scholarship descriptions.

    The Application Packet for each scholarship should contain:

    1. A signed, completed application form with the name and number of the scholarship at the top of the page. A digital version of the application form is available here.

    2. A brief Qualifying Statement written specifically for each scholarship (1 paragraph unless otherwise stated); this should explain why you are a good candidate for this scholarship.

    3. A Personal Goal Statement (at least one page, typed); try to give a sense of your background as well as your future plans. 

    4. One letter of recommendation from someone unrelated to you.

    5. A photocopy of your transcript (you can talk to your guidance counselor about getting this)

    6. Financial information (only if needed per scholarship requirements); provide a Financial Need Statement (one paragraph, typed) that describes/explains any financial needs or hardships for you and your family.

    Forms must be signed electronically by you and your guardian. You may sign electronically by typing your full name. You may also upload scanned copies of signed documents. Club and activity advisors and coaches must sign off on all activities listed.

    Any misrepresentation of individual accomplishments will be grounds for removal from any further scholarship consideration. If you have any questions about the scholarship application process, please email Ms. Martens (martensd@randolph.k12.ma.us) or Mrs. Dearborn (dearborna@randolph.k12.ma.us)
