Glad to See You Here!
🗣️📣 The MATES Community Network at MATES Charter School Proudly Offers Three $500 Scholarships to 🎓 Graduating High School Seniors Who:
● Previously attended MATES Charter School and completed 5th grade there
● Attended MATES Charter School for a minimum of three years
● Are currently pursuing higher education
⭐ The scholarship is to be used during the fall semester/quarter at an accredited college/university, community college, or technical/trade school immediately following High School graduation.
⭐ Awardees are selected on the basis of the H.E.A.R.T. of an Eagle Pledge — students who have exemplified the Whole H.E.A.R.T. traits throughout their educational career.
We look to recognize students who are actively involved in the community through extra curricular activities, volunteerism, and who possess the potential for continued success. This scholarship does not have a grade point average requirement or restriction.
⭐ Applications are due Friday, March 27th, 2026 (extended from the 13th), and awardees will be announced on Friday, May 1st, 2026.
Winners will also receive recognition at the annual MATES Senior Walk on Friday, June 4th, 2026.
