These scholarships are awarded to Seniors who have not only been actively involved in volunteering at Collins Hill, but have also been chosen based on the reflection they create documenting their volunteering experience.

Coley Krug Spirit of Service Award - A $1000 scholarship awarded to one senior each year who represents the true spirit of service. The criteria for this honor require that the student have a minimum of 180 cumulative hours of service with a wide variety of volunteer experience. It also requires that their actions and reflections demonstrate that they volunteer for true and honest reason, because they have a spirit of service and because they make a difference.

This senior will also be responsible for documenting at least 50 hours of service, creating a scrapbook/ journal reflection, composing an essay explaining how community service has meant something to them, and submitting at least one letter of recommendation.

Essence of Caring Scholarship- A $500 scholarship is awarded to a Senior, who is chosen based on their end-of-year reflection. Selections are judged by the 21 st Century Leaders organization and the CHHS Volunteer Center Staff. Please come to the Volunteer Center for more information.

 

How do I turn these hours in?

  • Fill-out a Student Profile/ Volunteer Information Sheet and return it to the Volunteer Center (which is located next to the Media Center).
  • Pick-Up a “log sheet”/ print a “log sheet” off of the CHHS website to begin recording the volunteer hours/ fundraisers that you are participating in (each log sheet can record 4 events).
  • Try to turn your hours in at the end of each month, so that we can begin putting your information into our computer database.
  • By March 1 st, 2009, ALL hours must be turned-in to the Volunteer Center. That is the cut-off point for receiving awards for this year at the “Cheers for Volunteers” Banquet.
  • “Cheers for Volunteers” Banquet is on April 28 th at 6pm (Invitations will be sent out).
