2021 Joseph J. Gosha Scholarship
It’s that time again to award a worthy student the Joseph J. Gosha Scholarship! My family is excited to continue to support a graduating student in pursuing his or her dream to attend a four year institution. We hope to receive a number of interested applicants’ applications this year.
We are refreshing the scholarship materials and we will forward them to you by Friday, February 5th. The deadline for applications is Friday, March 26th (just before Spring Break).
Our family would like to seize every opportunity to share and communicate the Joseph J. Gosha Scholarship with seniors’ parents and the seniors to ensure that as many students as possible apply.
1. Would you remind us when and how the scholarship information is disseminated to the parents and seniors?
2. Are there any opportunities that our family can engage with the parents and/or seniors during a senior meeting (i.e. virtually) to share details about the scholarship and encourage them to participate?
Also, we noticed that there is a Families and Student Dashboard on the school’s website and we would like to post information about the Joseph J. Gosha Scholarship on it. Would that be possible?
We are open to any suggestions that you may have to make sure the scholarship details are shared broadly.
We look forward to hearing and working with you again!
Warm Regards,
Alicia Gosha-Page
