PTA Scholarship Opportunity

The Parent-Teacher Associations in the Lovejoy Independent School District each will award one $500 scholarship to a college-bound senior graduating from Lovejoy High School in 2020. This centralized application means that each student completes the form ONCE, but is eligible for PTA scholarships through the Lovejoy schools they attended (plus the Lovejoy Council). All student applicants (a) must have attended LHS during their sophomore, junior, and senior years; (b) belong to the LHS Parent-Student Teacher Association; (c) complete the online scholarship application, including the essays; (d) upload a high school transcript; (e) upload a resume; and (f) have two letters of recommendation submitted. To begin the application process, students must complete a brief survey, located online at  Online Survey Software | Qualtrics Survey Solutions  via Qualtrics. This survey, which requests the student's name and email address, indicates their intent to apply. Online Survey Software | Qualtrics Survey Solutions We then will send the student a link to the online scholarship application. This link will be  UNIQUE  to each student and allows them to exit and return to the application in case they cannot complete it in one sitting. THE APPLICATION DEADLINE IS MONDAY, APRIL 27, 2020. Please email Andrea Warner-Czyz at  warnerczyz@yahoo.com  if you have any questions regarding this application.
