RECIPIENTS

Peninsula High School boasts one of the largest high school scholarship programs in the state, the Peninsula Hawks Scholarship Fund. It provides as much as $300,000 per year in awards to graduates of our school. The awards can be used for any type of accredited educational institution; from short training programs to full-fledged university education, and for any type of major, whether vocational or academic.

Students apply by purchasing and completing a scholarship portfolio during their senior year. In it, they provide information about their activities and accomplishments during their high school years and their future plans. This portfolio serves as the application for a large number of awards, given mostly by local donor families, businesses and organizations.
