🎓 Senior Scholarship Survey
📅 Due: May 1st by 3:00 PM
This important but optional survey is used to build the annual Honors Convocation Scholarship Celebration Program.
✅ Who should complete it? ALL seniors who have been awarded an academic merit-based scholarship by a college or organization—regardless of GPA.
💡 If your award is an academic merit-based scholarship, your information may be used to recognize you on stage at the Class of 2025 Honors Convocation.
Important Survey Considerations:
-
Please do not submit scholarships you cannot verify their authenticity in writing.
-
Please do not submit scholarships that are part of the Shiawassee Community Foundation (SCF) scholarship program. The Foundation holds their own celebratory scholarship event. And they confidentially provide the winners-roster to OHS and those winners will be highlighted in the printed program at Honors Convocation.
Reporting Exceptions for Senior-Athlete!
-
Athletic-merit scholarships awarded by a college, university, or private organizations, then this is the type of scholarship celebrated at Athletic Awards Night. In order for you to be included in the athletic-based awards night, you must report these types of awards to OHS Athletic Secretary, Mrs. JoEllen Smith.
-
Some athletic-merit scholarships are often one part of a scholarship award package offered by colleges or universities. If your award letter includes an additional academic-merit based scholarship, in order to be included in the Class of 2025 Honors Convocation program, then you will need to submit the Senior Scholarship Survey by the May 1st, 3 pm deadline.
