ScholarshipS
OVERVIEW
Athletics at Holly Springs High School (HSHS) has always been a very important part of student development. The Golden Hawks Booster Club will recognize senior athletes each school year in the name of the Golden Hawks Club Athletic Scholarship. A student athlete’s achievement in the classroom, school activities, special awards, honors, volunteer services, and the contributions made to his or her team will all be considered.
SCHOLARSHIPS
The Golden Hawks Club will offer 6 scholarships in the amount of $1000 each for 2023-24.
Our goal will be to award 1 Male, 1 Female per Sports Season (Fall, Winter, Spring)
