Fishers Junior High School National Junior Honor Society Alumni Scholarship
Due 4-17-15
In 2003, Fishers Junior High School chartered the district’s first National Junior Honor
Society based on the principles of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, Citizenship, and
Character. As a chapter, we emphasize building leaders through service. The faculty
council has made it a goal for the chapter to reward members that went on to put this area
of emphasis into action at the high school level. Through the monies raised with our
chapter’s recycling program and through a portion of our chapter dues, we will be able to
make this reward a reality. The chapter will award at least two scholarships up to $500.
Eligibility:
• Must be a senior in high school
• Applicant must have been an inducted member in the Fishers Junior High School
chapter of the National Junior Honor Society
• Applicant must have been an active member of a service organization during his or
her high school years. Examples of school service organizations are: National Honor
Society, Student Council, Class Officer, Best Buddies, and Key Club. Service
involvement is not limited to school organizations.
• Applicant must have had a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or a B average
Letter(s) of recommendation (include the evaluation form with each one) from the service
organization sponsor(s). Maximum of three. Multiple letters are not as important as the
commitment and service reflected in a single letter. The letters are meant to show the depth
of your service, not the breadth.
Write a letter to the scholarship selection board explaining how your high school career
represented our chapter’s values of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, Citizenship, and
Character. The most important part of your letter will address how service helped you
become a leader in the school and/or community. Please include a current photo.
