Scholarships

The Virginia High School League (VHSL) annually offers post-secondary school seniors scholarships, paving the way for a brighter future. The VHSL is committed to supporting and investing in Virginia’s youth through these scholarships, providing a stepping stone toward their academic and career goals. We encourage parents and students to seize these scholarship opportunities.

VHSL Foundation Achievement Award

The VHSL Foundation Achievement Award, a $2,000 scholarship funded and awarded annually by the VHSL Foundation, recognizes 19 senior scholar-athletes and scholar-activity participants who have excelled in the classroom and athletic and academic activities and will attend a post-secondary institution. See the application form on the right to learn more about the VHSL Foundation Achievement Award.

Savedge Scholarship Award

The Savedge Scholarship Award, awarded annually by the VHSL, recognizes one college-bound senior who has not only participated and excelled in school publications (magazine, newsmagazine, newspaper, and yearbook) but also demonstrated outstanding personal qualities. This $500 scholarship is a testament to their leadership, writing proficiency, design aptitude, creativity, teamwork, and character. See the application form on the right to learn more about the Savedge Scholarship Award.

Vito Perriello Citizenship Award

Two $1,000 scholarships will be awarded during the school year, honoring student-participants who demonstrate outstanding traits of citizenship in their high school career. Only students graduating from a VHSL member school will be eligible for these awards. Each VHSL member school may nominate one student. Students must have previously participated in one or more VHSL activities, which may include serving as an athletic training student aide (ATSA) with a Virginia-licensed athletic trainer within that school, to be eligible for the award. The member school principal must submit all applications to the VHSL office. Applications must be postmarked by March 15. No late applications will be accepted. A statewide committee representing educators and Sports Medicine Advisory Committee representatives will review all nominations and select the winners. See the application form on the right to learn more about the Vito Perriello Citizenship Award.
