Scholarship Policy for Pratt County High School Senior Grant

The Pratt County High School Senior Grant has been established by the Pratt Community College Board of Trustees to provide tuition assistance for all graduating high school seniors who are residents of Pratt County or from a Pratt County high school, for the academic term (summer, fall, or spring) within three years of high school graduation. The grant will be given for an academic, technical, or health related program or for participation in an extracurricular activity or athletics.

The Pratt County High School Senior Grant will entitle the student to a maximum of $350 per semester, not to exceed a total award of $1,400. Students must maintain a GPA of 2.0 or higher.
Recipients are expected to demonstrate leadership in community service and must document a minimum of 30 hours annually from a Pratt County non-profit organization, K12 schools, service club and/or religious institution.
