DUAL LANGUAGE PORTFOLIO CERTIFICATION SCHOLARSHIP

Ten students from each of the five high schools are invited to apply for this scholarship based on Dual Language Portfolio Certification criteria. Eligible seniors are identified by the Multi-Lingual Multi-Cultural Education Department. The vision is that students will demonstrate cultural competence and develop high levels of academic and language proficiency. Applicants will be scored on academic proficiency and financial need, as well as the cultural reflection essay that is part of the application process.

Up to three $1,000 scholarships are awarded per year, which may be used toward tuition at any 2-year or 4-year university or accredited trade school.
