Introduction

The Uniform Application for Community Scholarships was developed to help high school seniors be more efficient and effective with the use of their time. In addition, and more importantly, utilizing this application will allow seniors to spend meaningful time writing essays for scholarships and providing other more specific information, in order to spotlight themselves as applicable for the individual scholarships. Seniors, and for any parents reviewing this application, it is an outstanding initiative on the part of the student to take the necessary steps to apply for any of these scholarships.

Thanks to a generous donation from the Fishers Rotary Club, FHS and HSEHS in Partnership with the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation have launched an online application platform called SmarterSelect. Before beginning the Uniform Application for Community Scholarships Application online process, please read through the specific Scholarship Eligibility Requirements for each scholarship found in this booklet.
