HMBHS Local Scholarship Program

The Half Moon Bay High School Local scholarship program began in the 1970s and has been an important way for our community to demonstrate support for our graduating seniors. Each year over fifty individuals and groups in the community contribute to this program. In 2011 over one hundred and fifty scholarships were awarded to one hundred and sixteen graduating seniors, which totaled over $120,000.00 in scholarship donations.

Note to students: one application is all that is needed to be considered for all local scholarships. Please download a copy of this application for further instructions.

Are you interested in starting a scholarship? Here are some things to know.

  • You can determine your own criteria, name, and amount for your scholarship. (Scholarships can also be anonymous)
  • There is flexibility in the selection of scholarship recipients
    • The scholarship committee can select recipients for you based on criteria that you determine.
    • You can hold interviews or review applications of candidates screened by the committee based on your criteria.
    • You can select a candidate based on your own policies and procedures.
      (Note: in order to present at scholarship night, the recipient MUST have submitted a local scholarship application by the deadline indicated)

  • You can present your award at scholarship night, which is always the last Thursday in May.
    If you have not attended this event before, it is a sight to be seen.
