Hastings High School is fortunate to have such a generous community. Well over 100 scholarships are given out to Hastings graduates each Spring. The funds for this fantastic program are provided by local businesses, families, organizations, and Hastings High School Alumni and staff. Awards range from $500 to several thousand dollars per scholarship!
Each year in December, the Local Scholarship application is open and ready for students to apply. They are given roughly 4 weeks to complete this application, including one week of Winter Break. Every student who plans to attend a college, community college or technical school is encouraged to apply.
Each donor has its own set of criteria they look for in a student. Examples of donor criteria may be one or more of the following: financial need, volunteer work, athletics, extra-curricular activities, performing arts, major or degree, GPA, pursuing a trade and/or organization affiliation. In many cases, the student's essay is what really makes or breaks their application regardless of GPA.
If you or your organization would like to become a donor, please contact me.
