Justice High School Scholarship Fund - 2024

Description

The mission of the Justice High School Scholarship Fund (JHSSF) is to provide need-based scholarships for Justice High School graduates pursuing post-secondary education. The JHSSF supports students who:

• Have financial need
• Demonstrate a commitment to learning
• Are active in their school and community 

All JHSSF awards are known as "last dollar" awards and are designed to help fill the gap when all other sources of financial aid have been exhausted.

JHSSF has partners in its awards. Partners use our application but independently select recipients based on financial need and their individual mission. These scholarships have additional requirements, such as an essay, or short questions, and participation in certain activities.

This application enables students from Justice High School to apply with one form for all available scholarships the JHSSF and its partners award: 

• The Rotary Club of Bailey's Crossroads
• The Ms. Mask Scholarship Committee
• The Thurgood Marshall Scholarship Fund
• The Casey Schulman Scholarship
• Decorate A Vet Scholarship

Details and requirements for of each of those scholarships can be found in the "Scholarships" section of this application. You are strongly encouraged to apply for more than one scholarship
