Why Encourage Your Student to Apply?

SGASF has awarded over $2.4 million in scholarships to Spring Grove graduates since 1994, and your student could be next. Scholarships can reduce the financial stress of post-secondary education, allowing your student to focus on their academic and personal growth.

How the Process Works

  • Eligibility: Students must reside in the Spring Grove Area School District and be enrolled in district-funded educational programs. Applications open in January of their senior year.

  • Comprehensive Review: Applications are evaluated anonymously by an independent review board to ensure fairness. Awards are based on a variety of factors, including academic achievement, athletic performance, community involvement, work history, financial need, and scholarship-specific criteria.

  • Opportunities for All Paths: Scholarships are available for students pursuing traditional higher education as well as trade schools, ensuring diverse opportunities for success.

How You Can Help Your Student

  • Encourage Early Preparation: Help your student gather the required documents and start brainstorming ideas for their personal essay.

  • Stay Informed: Familiarize yourself with the timeline for applications and key deadlines to ensure your student submits their application on time.

  • Highlight Community Involvement: Discuss ways your student’s extracurricular activities, volunteer work, and part-time jobs have shaped their character and goals.

  • Talk About Financial Needs: Help your student articulate how financial assistance will make a difference in their educational journey.

Ways to Get Involved

As a parent, your involvement doesn't have to stop at encouraging your student:

  • Spread the Word: Share SGASF opportunities with other parents and community members.

  • Volunteer: Help with SGASF events such as fundraisers and community outreach initiatives.

  • Support the Fund: Consider making a donation or connecting us with potential donors.

By working together, we can ensure that every student in the Spring Grove community has access to the resources they need to succeed.
