Scholarship Eligibility

Thousand Islands area high school graduates are eligible for assistance for educational opportunities beyond high school.  Preference will be given to students who reside in the Thousand Islands Central School District and who are graduating from Thousand Islands High School.  A student must have attended a Thousand Islands area high school for at least one year.  A non-traditional student (defined as a student who has graduated previously from a Thousand Islands area high school and who now wishes to pursue a form of higher education) is also eligible.  He/she must be accepted at an institution of higher education at the time of the application.  Most scholarships will be for one year only; there is one four-year scholarship.

Most importantly, it is the Foundation's policy that applicants make a clear demonstration of financial need, after consideration of all other resources available to them, including parents' financial resources and other scholarships and grants that may be available to such applicant.  The applicant must further show academic ability and education, as educational assistance grants will only be made available to those persons dedicated to pursuing their further education and likely to be successful at such pursuit.

Application procedures vary based on traditional or non-traditional student status.  Please review the Scholarship Eligibility document below for more specific details.  Both the traditional and non-traditional scholarship applications are also available below.
