Radnor High School SCHOLARSHIP
FUND 2009
The Radnor High School Scholarship Fund (The Fund)
was founded in 1966 to provide financial assistance
to deserving graduates of Radnor High School for
post-high school education.
Applications must be submitted to
the Radnor High School Guidance Office by a specified
date (usually in early-April). The applications
are then reviewed by a financial officer at a
local university. The officer classifies the applicants
based on financial criteria and prepares a summary
report ranking the applicants according to category
of need. All financial information received is
held in strict confidence.
In May, the finalists are interviewed
by a selection committee comprised of both board
members and community representatives. This review
committee considers community involvement, academic
performance and commitment to higher education
to arrive at individual awards consistent with
a budget established for the class. Each class
has a specific budget available; the amount is
dependent upon the success of our fund-raising
activities.
Commitments of scholarships are
made for up to four years of full-time study and
continuation of support over these years is contingent
upon continuing financial need, satisfactory performance
(C average or better) and our ability to fund
the program. Recipients have six years over which
to claim their four years of awards; this reflects
the changing timeframes of higher education
Because of the continual rise in
educational costs, The Fund has gradually increased
its average award to provide a meaningful level
of support. This puts pressure on our fund-raising
activities and demands more volunteers to help
support the various activities. To help The Fund
maintain, and even increase, its historic level
of support, we are now forced to require that
each recipient and their parents/guardians assist
our fund-raising efforts in some manner over the
four-year duration of the scholarship. This help
is most critical at the Fourth of July fireworks
(our most important fund-raiser) when we need
many volunteers to help with concessions, ticket-taking
and parking at the high school prior to the fireworks.
Any questions concerning The Fund
and the application process should be addressed
to Arthur R. Lewis, President of The Fund at 610
688-4144 or via E-Mail: Arlo31@comcast.net
Please return all application materials
to the Guidance Office no later than 2:30pm on
Friday April 3rd 2009. Incomplete applications
