City High Alumni Scholarships

The “City High Alumni Scholarship” was created by the Alumni Association to award students who have positively impacted their school and community through involvement in academics, extracurricular activities, and service projects during their high school career.  The CHAA Scholarship Committee meets to review all applications and essays received, and presents to the CHAA Board their recommendations of 3 to 5 nominees to receive the scholarship.  Selected recipients are notified in advance of being honored at the Awards Ceremony in Opstad Auditorium.

"In deciding on the 3 finalists for the Alumni Association Scholarships, we are always amazed at how these students manage to juggle so many facets of their lives, including Academics, School Activities, and Community Activities. We are always so impressed that City High students find ways to complete school work, complete hours of volunteer work in the community, work jobs, and somehow find time to participate in sports, clubs, music, journalism etc.
The students of City High are truly remarkable!!"

and Scholarship Committee Chair

Students are asked to write about the school activities they were active in (such as athletics, music, drama, journalism, clubs, etc.) as well as their service to our community (such as service projects, volunteering with organizations, youth groups, scouts, religious groups, or work experiences). For all of these activities, the applicant should include any leadership positions they have had, initiatives they participated in, and what they’ve learned about themselves from these experiences. Applicants should also discuss their future academic and career plans, their personal goals and include information on why they should be considered for this scholarship.
