New Scholarship for Seniors .......

REMINDER: have a new scholarship in the Name of Tristan Lippman '14, she is the graduate who died in a car accident last year and the family has set up a fund in her name. They raised a lot of $ in the spring at their softball tournament, but unfortunately missed the window to give a scholarship at the awards night in May. That being said, the family would like to award two separate scholarships this year. One now, to a current senior for use in the second semester senior year here at TCHS. Then one in the spring to a current Junior for use in their Senior year.

The amount of the scholarship is $3000 and there is an application on line that you can DOWNLOAD HERE.
