Local Scholarships 2024 - 2025

Local scholarships are generously provided by our supportive South Whidbey community to graduating seniors each year. You will find more than 50 scholarships described here, available for a variety of students, educational plans, and interests.
Please read the following important information about accessing and completing the applications.

· How do you see the actual applications?

o Click on the link provided where it says APPLY.

· How do I complete the applications?

Please use a computer for these applications, especially to save and print the completed application forms. Phones and iPads do not support these processes.

IMPORTANT! Teachers, school counselors and high school administrators will not provide scholarship letters of recommendation, unless the application states that it should be from a teacher. If donors ask for letters of recommendation, please get them from adult mentors in your life, that are not a family member. You could ask an employer, coach, pastor, or other adults you know well.

Once you complete filling out your application online, please save each application to a computer file for reference. Then PRINT the application.

Transcripts: Please ask the high school registrar (Ms. Bitts) for one copy of your current transcript. You will need to make photocopies of this transcript to use with each application. You do not need to ask the registrar to make the transcript official.

SWHS General Application: Several scholarships use a general application prepared by South Whidbey High School, which makes applying easier for you. Download and save a copy from the link below. Fill out the SWHS General Application one time only and save it with a file name like "Original Scholarship Application". Then, whenever an application calls for the SWHS General Application, you can go to your file and type in the correct “Name of the Scholarship” at the top. Voila! That application is complete! You can save a copy of each of these individual general applications for reference.
