2019 ACHIEVE Scholarship Program
The ACHIEVE Scholarship Program recognizes and rewards students who engage in academically rigorous coursework while maintaining balance in other areas of interest within our schools and community. We believe that exposure to core academic rigor, elective course sequences, community service and school activities will promote success during and after high school.
Application Deadline
The deadline to submit scholarship applications was February 1, 2019. We will be recognizing ACHIEVE Scholarship recipients at the Scholarship Recognition Breakfasts at Elkhorn High School on April 24th and Elkhorn South High School on April 25th. Scholarship levels will be confirmed when 2nd semester grades are finalized. ACHIEVE Scholarship recipients will also wear a special cord during graduation and will be recognized in the graduation booklet.
