Liverpool Dollars for Scholars now accepting scholarship applications

LIVERPOOL HIGH SCHOOL – The Liverpool Dollars for Scholars online application process for students in the Class of 2023 opens on Jan. 20.  Anyone who knows any Liverpool High School seniors who plan to further their education should encourage them to apply for more than 180 scholarships that range in value from $500 – $2,000.  Many of Liverpool Dollars for Scholars scholarships have no criteria, while others seek applicants who attended specific elementary/middle schools; plan certain majors/career fields including the trades; participated in the arts, school/community service or athletics; etc.  All LHS seniors received a list of scholarships arranged by criteria as well as instructions and helpful tips for completing the online application process.
Scholarship winners attend two- and four-year colleges and universities, technical institutes, trade schools, hospital nursing and other health related programs, adult BOCES programs and apprenticeships.  Every student bound for some form of higher education is urged to apply.  Some colleges will match the scholarship.
The odds are good for those who apply.  During the last few years, most applicants were awarded scholarships or selected as alternates.  Many alternates eventually received a scholarship.  While it takes time to complete the online application, it’s worth the effort.  The money can be applied toward non-tuition expenses – fees, room, board, books and educational supplies.  Despite COVID-19 and economic challenges, we awarded 159 scholarships worth more than $118,000 to LHS students in the Class of 2022.
The online application submission deadline is 11:59 p.m. on March 8, 2023.
Students can go to liverpool.dollarsforscholars.org to complete a profile and apply for scholarships.  Additional information will be provided during an assembly for LHS seniors on Friday, Jan. 20.
