Awards - Penns Valley
Penns Valley High School Senior Awards!
Each year, Penns Valley Seniors have the opportunity to apply for approximately 165 scholarship and award offerings funded by community members, local businesses/organizations, and academic/athletic departments. These scholarships range in criteria, amount, and application requirements, so seniors need to be aware of what awards they might be eligible for and how/when to apply for those awards.
You may access the 2023-2024 Awards Listing below.
