VF Alumni Association Freedom Scholarship
Annually the VF Alumni Association awards a scholarship to a VF Senior. The amount varies each year depending on fundraising efforts and donations received. The winner is chosen through the Parma Council of PTAs Scholarship Program and Selection Process.
Parma Council of PTAs Scholarship Program and Selection Process The Parma Council of PTAs scholarship program is the largest in the state of Ohio. Scholarships are awarded by the Ohio PTA, the Parma Council itself, the Parma City School District, the Parma Education Association, and the PTAs and school-affiliated organizations of each senior high school, middle school, and elementary school in the district. There are also many scholarships and grants awarded by numerous community organizations.
Accordingly, the scholarship selection process is quite complex. Every applicant for each organization’s scholarship(s) must be evaluated objectively by each organization according to several merits using a rating system established by the Council, including class rank and GPA, employment history, in-school and out-of-school activities, school service, non-school service, awards. Each applicant is also evaluated more subjectively on the basis of a writing sample. Each organization may also have additional requirements that must be met and which are explained as a part of the application process. |
