Membership in the St. Louis Hills Neighborhood Association (SLHNA) is an excellent way to contribute to the camaraderie of our beautiful neighborhood. Another great benefit of membership is eligibility for our annual scholarship competition.
Any child or legal dependent of a SLHNA member is eligible to apply based upon the following criteria:
- The member lives within the boundaries of St. Louis Hills
- The member’s household has two current and consecutive years of paid SLHNA membership
- The applicant is at least an eighth grade student
- The applicant is attending or planning to attend an educational institution (public high school, private high school, trade school, technical school, vocational school, two-year college, four-year college/university, PhD/Med School/Law School/Fellow program, and so forth)
Two one-time scholarships of $750 will be awarded.
The Scholarship Chairs will receive completed applications. Personal information will be redacted. The redacted applications will then be reviewed by a panel of judges, who will select two scholarship recipients. The two recipients selected by the judges will be contacted directly by email by the end of May. Updates to the Association’s website and social media will also announce the selected recipients.
Each applicant must:
- Complete the application found on the Association’s website (linked below)
- Provide a list of any academic honors and/or extracurricular activities
- Independently write and submit an essay of 150 words or less which addresses the question “How has living in our St. Louis Hills Neighborhood shaped your values and aspirations?”
