NHS Scholarship Application – Information Sheet What is the scholarship? Each school who has a National Honors Society may nominate senior members to apply for NHS scholarships. GTJHS may nominate 5 seniors. A nomination does not guarantee a scholarship. Who is Invited to Apply? Any high school senior who is in good standing with GTJHS’s National Honor Society may apply. A member who is in good standing has paid his or her dues and meets the expectations explained during the first club day meeting. The expectations sheet may be viewed at [|www.tjhsnhs.wikispaces.com]. How about some details? Mrs. Lees-Carr and Ms. Dapsauski will choose the 5 seniors based on an application. Each application must include: // Student leaders and the organizations they lead at school provide a large variety of services to the school and the community. Through these activities, they offer service that dramatically influences the lives of others. In keeping with the theme for this year’s National Student Leadership Week (see [|www.nasc.us/nslw] for details), what can student leaders like you do to save lives? //   When is the application due? All seniors who wish to be nominated to apply for a NHS scholarship must turn in their complete application to Mrs. Lees-Carr or Ms. Dapsauski by Wednesday, January 5, 2011. How should the application be submitted? Applications may be submitted electronically (through email) or printed (hard copy). When will nominations be announced? The national nomination deadline is January 14, 2011 so the decision will be made quickly. We hope to announce nominations by Friday, January 7, 2011 because each nominee and the advisors will have to complete their nomination online by 1/14/11. We will only contact the 5 chosen nominees with the results. Questions? Heather.dapsauski@fcps.org shawn.carr@fcps.org
