Project Potential
PROJECT POTENTIAL SCHOLARSHIPS
for Conway High School
Project Potential is an incentive program in Conway High School providing scholarships and mentoring to motivate average students to succeed during high school, graduate and seek higher education resulting in better job placement and personal fulfillment.
The numbers say it all. Fifty percent of high school students won't make that commencement march and receive their diplomas. Project Potential seeks to change that statistic.
Project Potential recipients receive mentoring designed to help them stay focused on their efforts of being a successful student and productive teenager during their high school years. Recipients are expected to meet the Project Potential goals and guidelines with the encouragement of their mentors, teachers and parents.
All Project Potential recipients and their parent(s) or guardian must execute a Letter of Understanding, which states their acceptance of the following guidelines to be strictly adhered to by the recipient:
* Maintain an 85 average on the S.C. uniformed grading scale during the four years of high school.
* Be enrolled in and graduate from high school.
* Show proper conduct in school and in the community.
* Abide by the S.C. Attendance law.
* Enroll and attend an accredited two or four year college or university.
* Understand scholarship funds will be dispersed directly to the college or university and not to the recipient.
* Agree to release all school records to the Project Potential Scholarship Committee.
* Not be involved in any criminal activity. The committee requires the release of criminal records. These records are kept confidential by the committee.
* Forfeit the Project Potential scholarship to another deserving student should a full college scholarship or grant be received from another source.
