Students on a summer program in Tanzania
Is your student planning to participate in a summer enrichment program this year? If so, they are eligible to apply for a for a Bobbie Raymond Summer Enrichment Grant scholarship from the Alumni Association. Named to honor one of our founding members and long-time president and community activist Roberta Wolin Raymond (OPRFHS '55) the ALUMNI ASSOCIATION provides these grants to students for academic-related SUMMER enrichment opportunities. The goal is to provide enrichment and enhance motivation of students, particularly those with limited resources. Eligible students must be current freshmen, sophomores and juniors. For summer programs only, not those taking place during the school year.
We typically offer TWO application periods - an earlier deadline (mid-January) for OPRFHS-sponsored programs and a later deadline (late February) for ANY program. The application is completed ONLINE but there are some forms that must be printed, completed and signed. Applications are reviewed together AFTER the appropriate deadline has passed. Typical grant amounts range from $250 - $1000 depending on the cost of your program and financial need. We may exceed the $1000 maximum on a very limited basis under special circumstances.
NOTE: The entire application including the online portion, the printed portion, and the Teacher recommendation MUST be submitted by the deadline in order to be eligible for consideration. For SUMMER programs only. More information on the application link below.
