To the Parents and Students of PVMHS:
This booklet has been prepared to assist you in researching the scholarship
opportunities available to graduates of Peabody Veterans Memorial High School.
No listing of scholarships can be all inclusive, but we have tried to include those
for which Peabody residents are eligible. Included are scholarships to which our
students have traditionally applied. Check frequently in PVMHS guidance offices,
the Guidance Center and on the website for any changes and/or new scholarships. (
www.peabody.k12.ma.us/Domain//16 and go to “Quick Links” on the right side of
the PVMHS web page. This will bring you to the site where you can access this
booklet, and all of the applications.)
Check this scholarship booklet weekly for updates. All updates will be
highlighted in yellow.
TBA = “To Be Announced”.
There are numerous scholarships available at the state and national level as well.
Some of this information can be obtained on-line and
from the financial aid offices of the colleges and universities to which
our students apply.
To make things easier this year, we have created three types of scholarship
applications, all which can be found in the Guidance Center and on the PVMHS
website.
The In-House Application is to be filled out only once. The applicant checks off
the scholarships they would like to be considered for on the back page. These
scholarship recipients are to be determined by an “In-House Scholarship
Committee”. Please hand the completed In-House Application to your Guidance
Counselor so they can make sure it is complete.
Scholarships
2014-2015
The Universal Application is used by donors who have agreed to use our
application, but they will decide the recipients themselves. Students must make
copies of this application package for all scholarships they are applying to that use
the Universal Application. Write the name of the scholarship on the top of each
Universal Application. The completed Universal Applications need to be handed
in to your Guidance Counselor so they can make sure it is complete.
Peabody Veterans Memorial High School
The third type of application is the Donor Application. With the Donor
Application, the donors have their own application and make the decision on their
own. It is VERY IMPORTANT FOR STUDENTS TO READ THE
DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY, as some need to be sent in directly to the donors
(requiring stamps and an envelope) and others need to be handed into their
Guidance Counselor.
**All scholarships needing transcripts must be handed into their Guidance
Counselor at least two working days before the scholarship is due for
processing.
**Printed copies of this booklet are available in the Guidance Center**
