The college/career counseling office (Counselors, Mrs Hand and Mrs. King, and Mrs Jelley, counseling secretary/scholarship coordinator), hosted their annual senior awards ceremony last night in the High School auditorium. Thank you to all of the scholarship donors and presenters for your time and donations for our seniors!
The night included: 41 seniors invited, 30 presenters, 120 awards given out with amounts ranging from $25-$6,500, and a grand total of over $56,000. Some awards also included certificates, medals, and chords.
Every award/ scholarship has a criteria set by each donor/committee. The students are chosen based on certain criteria:
1-The students receive email updates and reminders to apply for the scholarships on our high school senior scholarship page. They are instructed to complete the posted application sent in by the donor. The application may consist of an essay, resume, transcript, or even an interview. Once their application is completed, the recipients are selected by the donor and/or their committee.
2- The various departments and clubs here at HFCS(Social Studies, English, Math, Earth Club/Science, HFTA, etc) decide on awards that coincide with their subject matter (i.e.Social Studies Key Award is decided by the Social Studies department).
3- Outside donors in and around Hoosick Falls, submit criteria for their awards and ask the school Scholarship Committee to decide on their award by nomination. Students are granted these awards based on either character, academics, service, leadership, their intended major or trade, financial need, or a combination of any of those factors.
