Scholarships

At WPHS, national, state and county scholarships are received and disseminated from the guidance office. Applications are filed in the office and a scholarship bulletin is available to all students. The bulletin is updated weekly. Seniors are strongly encouraged to visit the guidance office to receive the most updated bulletin or click on the link below. Seniors should consider applying for any scholarship for which they meet the criteria.

In February of the senior year, information regarding local scholarships becomes available. Students receive an application" from the guidance office on or around March 1st. This application is then completed by the deadline and returned to the guidance office. The scholarship committee meets in April to determine recipients. Scholarships are awarded at the Senior Scholarship Awards Program in June.

Please note: Several local scholarships are sent to the donor for recipient selection and require separate applications. This is clearly noted in the application that each senior receives from guidance.

Deadlines are important and must be strictly adhered to.

Any questions should be directed to the Guidance Department.

A running list of national, state and county scholarships will appear here throughout the year. Seniors are encouraged to apply for all that they qualify for. Scholarships can be obtained online, through each company or organization, or in the Guidance Office. Please see the description of each scholarship for direction on where to find applications. Any questions, please contact the Guidance Office at 973-887-4963.

Local Scholarships

Local scholarships are donated by many members of the local community including businesses, volunteer organizations, and individual citizens donate annually to assist our students with the cost of post high school education and training. Traditionally, there are approximately thirty scholarships available from sources wishing to assist our students.

All seniors who meet the criteria for the various local scholarships are encouraged to submit an application when they become available in March. The recipients are chosen by the scholarship donors or a committe of Whippany Park H.S. teachers, counselors, coaches and administrators.

Winners and their families will be invited to an evening ceremony in early June to be honored in person.
