CHHS ABC Scholarships

Chapel Hill High School Athletic Booster Club Scholarship

Athletics has always been an important part of student development at Chapel Hill High School. In national studies, sports participation has been associated with a wide array of positive outcomes for high school students and young adults. A student's experience with high school athletics will help develop traits and skills that will benefit them in the future.

The CHHS Athletic Booster Club has historically awarded scholarships to one senior female ($1,000) and one senior male ($1,000) who represent the highest ideals of CHHS athletics. Consideration is given to the applicant’s athletic success, dedication, sportsmanship, and leadership, as well as academic achievement and character. Winners are recognized during the CHHS Senior Awards Program in May.

The following are details of the 2024-25 program.

Eligibility

Applicant must be a graduating senior who has participated in CHHS Athletics for one or more varsity season(s) and has complied with the CHHS Code of Conduct. The applicant must be accepted to a recognized institution of higher learning (college, university, technical and vocational school or institute). The Booster Club scholarship is to be used for tuition or other direct educational expenses. The student-athlete must have a minimum cumulative unweighted high school grade point average (GPA) of 2.5. The student’s guidance counselor must verify GPA and sign the application form.

Essay

All applicants must write an essay about their Chapel Hill High School athletic experience and how it has helped them in their education and life. The strength of the student essay is one of the most important factors in the application.

Coach Recommendation

Please select one coach to complete the Coach Recommendation Form, and provide them with the form (and envelope). If a candidate does not receive a Coach’s recommendation, it disqualifies them as a candidate.

The Selection Committee is composed of 3+ adult members of the Athletic Booster Club, including at least one adult from the Booster Club Executive Board. No CHHS coaches or adults with a family relationship to any senior athlete at CHHS are included on the Selection Committee. A point system is used to evaluate applicants.
