Range Scholarship

Information for First Year Students

General Info

  • One Bright Futures student who meets scholarship requirements may be awarded a yearly scholarship award of $5,000, up to a maximum of four (not necessarily consecutive) years, while enrolled in college.
  • If you do not plan to enroll in college immediately upon high school graduation and wish to defer your scholarship until a later date, you must apply for the scholarship in the spring of your senior year of high school.
  • You must be enrolled in a postsecondary school within 3 years of graduating from PCHS or the awarded funds are forfeited. Any request to defer the scholarship grant to later years must be requested and approved in writing by the Selection Committee.
