HHS Scholarship Program - Class of 2022 - due 4/3 by 11:59 pm

-

 Attention, seniors! 

The HHS Scholarship Program has officially kicked off. An assembly to review this process was held during DSB on Thursday, February 17. If you were unable to attend the assembly or if you need additional guidance, please reference this great video that Mrs. Camiel has put together. You should also join the HHS Scholarship Program's Google Classroom (join code: ng7n5yd) - this is where you will submit your completed application. 

Mrs. Taylor sent out copies of your current transcript, including term 2 / semester 1 grades via email on February 17th as well (the email was from HHS School Counseling). If you are applying for scholarships (whether through the Holliston High School Scholarship Program or outside scholarships), you may be asked to upload a copy of your most recent transcript.

VERY IMPORTANT: There is a password required to access the transcript, which is your birthday in numerical form (for example, if your birthday is June 6, 2004, you would type in 06/06/2004; you must include the "/"). In order for you to include the transcript without a password in your application, you will need to save the PDF of your document to your Google Drive with a different name. The easiest way to do this on a school-issued Chromebook is:

  • Open the PDF document and provide the password it requires.
  • Click the “Print” button on the PDF toolbar while viewing the password-protected document.
  • Click the “Change” button under Destination and select “Save as PDF”.
  • Click the “Save” button and you’ll be prompted to provide a name and location for your new PDF.
  • Your new PDF will contain the same content as the original PDF, but won’t be password-protected. This is the copy you upload as part of your completed application packet.


All applications are due by Sunday, April 3rd at 11:59 p.m., no exceptions!

Let your counselor know if you have any questions! If you have specific questions about the Holliston High School Scholarship Program application, please reach out to Mrs. Camiel in-person or via email at camielv@holliston.k12.ma.us.
