Scholarships

All graduating seniors of RRHS are encouraged to apply for a scholarship administered by the Rocky River Education Foundation.

To do so, you must complete the scholarship application that is available from mid-March to mid-April through the RRHS Guidance Department. Completing this application will allow you to be considered for all of the community scholarships for which you qualify that are being given that year. The Rocky River Education Foundation administers scholarships on behalf of donors but plays no role in choosing scholarship recipients. This is done by the RRHS scholarship selection committee per each scholarship’s eligibility requirements.
