Scholarships

Every year, the Whitewater High School PTSO awards scholarships to selected graduating seniors to support their pursuit of a post-secondary education. We support two distinct scholarships:

SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS FOR SCHOLASTIC EXCELLENCE

Five $1000 scholarships are awarded to students who embody our school mission to develop as compassionate, productive and pro-active adults. To be eligible for these scholarships, students must:

1. Maintain fully paid membership of the Whitewater High School PTSO in good standing for all years of attendance at Whitewater High School. 

If you are unsure about your status in any year or want to pay catch-up dues for unpaid years, please contact treasurer@whitewaterhsptso.org.

2. Submit a complete scholarship application (Parts 1 and 2) before the application deadline. For 2025-26, the application deadline is 11.59pm on March 15, 2026.

To submit Part 1 of the scholarship application, click on APPLY FOR A PTSO SCHOLARSHIP below. At the next stage of the application process, Part 2 will be emailed to you.

3. Attend an accredited post-secondary institution in the same calendar year as graduation from Whitewater High School. (Checks will be made payable to the educational institution and must be cashed before the end of the calendar year of WHS graduation.) 

You do not need to make your final college decision before applying for the scholarship.

Winners are selected by a panel of external judges based on scholarship application essays. Whitewater PTSO board members and Whitewater High School staff are not involved in the selection process.

THE ROY RABOLD SCHOLARSHIP 

The Roy Rabold Scholarship is an award of $1500 for post-secondary education which honors former principal of Whitewater High School Roy Rabold. It is awarded to a graduating senior who has shown perseverance, grit, will, and motivation to succeed through their years at Whitewater High School. This student has had to overcome something in their lives, whether it be an adversity in their personal lives, a learning disability, a physical disability, or a financial hardship. This student has shown character and resilience. 

There is no application process for the Roy Rabold Scholarship. The recipient is selected by Whitewater High School administrators and counselors.

All scholarship recipients will be announced at Senior Honors Night. 

If you have questions about the scholarships or application process, contact president@whitewaterhsptso.org
