Scholarship Program
February 15 Deadline for Scholarship Applications Is Approaching
Each year, the Friends of the Cascade Library award two $1,500 scholarships to deserving graduating seniors in the Forest Hills Public Schools (FHPS) system. The deadline for the 2026 applications is February 15, and the Friends want to encourage seniors who have excelled academically and in volunteerism to apply, according to Debbie Straub, scholarship administrator.
“We know there are larger scholarships available to students these days, especially given the high cost of a college education,” Straub said. “But, all you have to do is ask a parent or a student leaning on a college loan to know that everything helps...even if it’s just to pay for class-related materials and activities.”
Straub said that the application process is simple, including a brief application form, two letters of recommendation, proof of volunteer hours, and a short essay on the benefits of volunteer service.
The application form and details concerning the process can be downloaded from the Friends website.
“If you know of someone eligible for this program in FHPS, please share this information with them and encourage them to apply,” Straub said. “You can’t win if you don’t play.”
