Recognition & Scholarship Opportunities
Each year the PTOs in the Sycamore School District fund 5 scholarships for Sycamore HS Seniors.
The scholarship committee are volunteer PTO members. No parent on the committee shall have a senior at Sycamore HS. They review applications with applicants' names removed. The committee determines the recipient of the PTO Scholarship Award, the Kennedy Scholarship Award and the Flege Scholarship Award. The counseling staff determines the recipent of the Sue Koehler Memorial Award and representatives from the Special Education department choose the Rugari Scholar. The committee confers with the counseling staff and SAFA to ensure that there are no duplicate recipents within these local scholarships.
Applications are open to all seniors for the three scholarships awarded by recommendation of the PTO scholarship committee. The fourth scholarship is awarded by the Counseling Department. Scholarship applications become available each winter and are awarded at the Senior Recognition Night in May.
