The OHS offers a very unique form of education which we are privileged enough to receive. It gives us a special opportunity to seek out scholarships. Because the student government is in charge of providing for the students of OHS, I think a wonderful way to do this would be to raise money from different sponsors and then offer scholarships for students to pursue their many interests and talents. These scholarships could have specific applications, or could be used for students to participate in intensive summer camp programs, or even be used to help with the expenses of OHS and its programs.
- Research possible sponsors (both corporate and private individuals)
- Research should be on-going; however, it’d be nice to have some specific organizations we could approach during the second semester
- Some ideas: Google, Apple, Microsoft, known philanthropists, scholarship foundations, foundations created to support gifted students
- Research different types of scholarships that could be offered
- Research how to write proposals/grants/letters to possible sponsors
- Create relations with corporate businesses for possible internship/volunteer opportunities for OHS students.
