Wellesley High School

This time of year, we reach out to the 9th Grade Students asking them to apply for the Hannah Randolph Scholarship.  We are also asking students, parents, guardians, and school staff members to nominate a 9th Grade Student other than yourself or your own child.

In February of 2012, Hannah Randolph was a 9th grader in Wellesley High School. During winter break she died unexpectedly in a skiing accident. She is remembered for her dedication and hard work in her pursuit and love of music, athletics, and academics. Her ultimate objective was not necessarily to win, but rather to be the best she was capable of, while supporting her peers, whether they be friends or people she had just come to know.

The scholarship is a grant to support a Class of 2029 student for an activity or project selected by the recipient and approved by the Fund’s Board. The scholarships could potentially be used for clinics, camp, or summer programs in the areas of sports, academics, or music. An award could also be used as a stipend for a student choosing to serve as a community service volunteer, either locally or outside of Wellesley.

The Deadline to submit an application is February 27.  Please email or drop off your application to Janet Kwon at kwonj@wellesleyps.org in the WHS Main Office.

For your convenience, please review these documents to either apply yourself or to nominate a 9th grader.
