Amount of award is $2500
This is a special scholarship only for Patuxent High students. Ms. Sheftz died on December 6, 2014 unexpectedly. Ms. Sheftz was influential to many students throughout her career, especially here at Patuxent as a history teacher. She was committed to addressing the issues of inequality and social injustice rather than ignoring them. Ms. Sheftz looked for the best in all, whether it be her students, friends or strangers and encouraged everyone to strive to be their best selves. This scholarship was created to help a PHS student, who wants to be an instrument of positive change and fight against injustice, to attend college and be a positive influence on the world.
Requirements to apply:
1. Must be a PHS student
2. Acceptance to a college prior to award being given
3. Commitment to social justice and improving the world.
4. An essay or original work addressing given social justice issues.
5. A recommendation letter from a teacher.
Applications can be found in the guidance office in the college/career room in the scholarship drawer.
