Eligibility

• To submit an application for the Oldham County Dollars for Scholars scholarships you must meet these general eligibility requirements:

  
  1. Applicant must be an Oldham County resident.

  2.  Applicant must receive a high school diploma or GED within
       the scholarship year

  3.  Applicant must have a minimum GPA 2.0

  4. Applicant must attend an accredited college or university
       after graduation (2 yr. or 4 yr.) (This requirement does not apply
      to the Arts Association Oldham County scholarship.)

   

  In addition to these general eligibility requirements, each sponsor has specific requirements listed within the application.  For example, several scholarships require an essay, attendance at a specific school, or that you are pursuing a specific major.  Most of the Oldham County school PTA’s or PTSA’s  will award their scholarship(s) to a graduate of NOHS, OCHS, SOHS, or Buckner Alternative – however, be sure to check the specific requirements under each sponsor.

   

  When scoring applications, all sponsors will review academics (with weighted GPA’s), extra-curricular activities, volunteer service, and work experiences; however, some sponsors will apply more points towards some of these areas than others.

   

  If any questions are not applicable to your current situation, please attach an explanatory note referring to the questions by section.  If more space is required for information on any items, you may attach additional information.  Please indicate the appropriate sections.

   

  You are responsible for seeing that all supporting documents and signatures are submitted and mailed by the deadline.  Oldham County Dollars for Scholars reserve the right to process only applications that are complete as of the application deadline.
