F-SP Svc. League Accepting Scholarship Applications

Service League is accepting scholarship applications for the 2017-2018 Academic Year

The Fanwood-Scotch Plains Service League Scholarships, established in 1975, are offered to students who are residents of Fanwood or Scotch Plains. Local students who will graduate from Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School or other area high schools in 2018, or local residents who are currently attending college or vocational school are eligible to apply. The scholarships are awarded on the basis of a student’s record of volunteer service and community involvement plus financial need, evidence of financial self-help, and academic promise. The Service League’s Scholarship Committee screens all applications and determines the number and amount of awards in May of each year.

ALL applicants, including current scholarship recipients and students attending college or other programs, must submit the following:

  • Completed and signed 2018 SP-F Local Scholarship Application available in Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School's Scholarship Application Booklet, available December 21, 2017.
  • A personal letter that includes your future plans, a description of your most valuable volunteer experience to date, and the reason(s) why community involvement is important to you
  • Transcript of grades and SAT and/or ACT scores sent by your high school or college directly to the Scholarship Chairperson.
