Important Information for Seniors
  • If you are currently a high school senior, your highest level of education completed is "some high school."  You are not considered a high school graduate during the application process.
  • ACT scores and financial information are not required for Redwood Area Dollars for Scholars scholarships because they are not used in our local scholarship selection process.  You may choose to provide this information to be considered for other Scholarship America opportunities that require it. 
  • All Redwood Area Dollars for Scholars scholarships are competitive.  Incomplete applications will not be considered. 
  • Students receiving a Redwood Area Dollars for Scholars scholarship are required to attend the Evening of the Stars on Wednesday, May 12, 2027. Please plan accordingly. Work and other activities should be scheduled around this event.

Current College Students

Redwood Valley High School graduates currently attending college are encouraged to apply!

Our chapter offers scholarships specifically for college-aged alumni in addition to scholarships for graduating seniors. Opportunities vary from year to year and may include undesignated scholarships as well as scholarships based on year in college, major or field of study, and other donor-established criteria.

College students apply during the same application period: 

February 1 - March 15, 2027

 

Returning Applicants  

You do not need to create a new account. Log in to your existing profile and carefully update your information, including your:

  • College and education information
  • Major or field of study
  • College transcript
  • Activities and employment
  • Required essay questions

A new reference is not required for returning college applicants. 

Be sure all information in your profile is current before searching for scholarships. The system uses your profile to match you with available opportunities, and outdated or incomplete information may prevent you from being matched with a scholarship for which you qualify.

College students are welcome, but not required, to attend the Evening of the Stars. PSEO students are considered high school students and are expected to attend if they receive a scholarship.
