Carroll High School Alumni Association Scholarships
In Memory of Fallen Patriots Killed in Action
Carroll High School’s Alumni Association offers scholarships to incoming students, freshmen through seniors, to attend Carroll High School. These scholarships are given in memory of Carroll’s Fallen Patriots: Dale Hess ’67, killed in Vietnam, and Paul Kelly ’79, killed in Iraq, in the hope that future students may learn from their courage and heroism.
A selection committee is appointed by the President of the Alumni Association. The committee is composed of members of the Alumni Association, teachers and staff at Carroll High School, and is sworn to strict confidentiality as to protect the applicants. In no event shall any member of the selection committee be a parent, sibling, aunt, uncle, cousin, or grandparent of any applicant for a scholarship. The goal is to award at least one scholarship per grade level.
The amounts of the scholarships shall be $1,250 each for the 2013-2014 school year. The amount is set annually by action of the Alumni Association. The selection of scholarship winners is based upon specific selection criteria found on the application and evaluation worksheet, all approved by the Alumni Association.
Students must reapply each year in order to be eligible for the next school year.
Applications are due February 15th to the Advancement Office, and all winners are notified in April via phone or mail. Payment will be made directly to Carroll High School in the name of the winning student.
