This year, a total of $2,449,103 in scholarships was awarded to college-bound graduates in Ridgefield High School’s Class of 2018 according to the school’s High School and Beyond program, which keeps records of scholarship awards information reported by RHS seniors.
While the majority of the scholarships came from the colleges and universities that the seniors plan to attend, it is interesting to note that $28,400 of this year’s total came from organizations in Ridgefield that have consistently made scholarship opportunities available to RHS students.
“We are fortunate to have such an amazing community that continually supports our students in pursuing their future endeavors,” said Amy McKenna, RHS’ High School & Beyond Coordinator.
