*** Indian River High School Scholarship Application

Scholarships are awarded to Indian River High School seniors and adult students at Delaware Technical and Community College. Since the inception of the Scholarship Fund in 2008, the chapter has awarded $53,500 in scholarships.

Indian River High School

Two $1,000 scholarships will be awarded this year to Indian River High School seniors.  Applicants are evaluated in three areas: (1) academic record; (2) extracurricular, community, and work activities; and (3) an essay.  Extra consideration is given to applicants who have or expect to overcome challenges in pursuing their education.

Applications are available to seniors in the guidance office at Indian River High School in the Spring of each year. The scholarships are awarded at the school’s annual Awards Night.
