Scholarships
$$Scholarships and Awards 2011-2012$$
The following is a list of scholarships, awards, and opportunities that we, at Pleasant Grove High School, have had experience with in the past. Most applications are available online; some are available in the Counseling Office . Because it is impossible, it is not our intention to list all scholarships – - there are several good, free, web sites that have a more complete list of scholarships. Dates and availability are subject to change. It is the student’s responsibility to verify scholarship availability, application dates, qualifications and award amounts. This list is provided only as a guide and convenience.
