SCHOLARSHIP BOOK

ELLENSBURG HIGH SCHOOL 2018-2019

This book contains information on scholarships that we knew of that were offered LAST school year (2017-18).

Since the future cannot be predicted, this guide will hopefully give you an idea of when scholarships were offered last year, so that you can be looking for them this year.

Scholarship information is posted on Facebook at “SCHOLARSHIPS EHS” and on the scholarship board in The Commons.

If you have questions, please see Mr. Johansen in the Counseling Office.
