HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS

These scholarships are chosen in April. Soroptimist International of Sequim awards at least two scholarships to graduating Sequim High School senior girls. Recipients are chosen based on criteria consisting of clearly stated goals, motivation to achieve those goals, references, participation in advanced or college classes, extracurricular activities or work, and financial need as set forth in their scholarship notebooks. These awards are paid directly to the student’s choice of institution of learning although a recipient may apply to have one quarter of their award in cash to use for college expenses other than tuition.
