Senior Scholarships and Teacher Grant

Senior Scholarships and Teacher Grant

The Alonso Academic Booster prides itself on awarding two $250 scholarships to graduating seniors, as well as one $500 teacher grant, per year. The senior scholarships are awarded mainly on content of an essay about you - your life, goals, and passions (see essay prompts in application), to be used toward costs related to future schooling.

Teacher grant proposals are presented to and voted on by the general members, and are meant to assist with projects, activities, books, equipment, or anything that enhances the academic lives of students at Alonso High School. While preference is given to proposals that offer school-wide access, we also encourage proposals that will benefit individual classrooms or grade levels. Previous winners have included a proposal for updated introductory music books, and the installation of a classroom library for Senior reading teachers.
