    WHAT ARE THE CRITERIA on which awards are based? Grants are made to seniors in good standing and who will receive a SHS diploma, on the basis of demonstrated financial need.
    WHAT IS THE AMOUNT of a grant from the Scholarship Fund? Grant amounts generally range from $1,000 to $7,500.
    HOW MANY SENIORS receive grants? There is no fixed number of recipients. Awards are based on need, the number of qualified applicants, and available funds.
    WHO ALLOCATES THE GRANTS? The Scholarship Fund Grant Committee makes allocations and administers the fund. All applications are held in the strictest confidence; applications are reviewed by number and not by name.
