FHS CHARACTER Scholarship Application 2019
Dear Student:
The Frenship Foundation for Leadership has granted over $708,600.00 to 276 Frenship High School graduates since 2003. The
purpose of The Foundation’s scholarship is to recognize consistent effort, to promote leadership, and to develop character in
students of Frenship schools, while stimulating a desire to serve others and further their education. At FHS, a scholarship
recipient selection is based on the following criteria:
1. Character: Promptly fulfilling individual pledges and responsibilities; demonstrating high standards
of honesty, fairness and tolerance; cooperating with rules and regulations; upholding principles of
morality and ethics.
2. Leadership: Evidence of participation and/or holding offices in extra-curricular activities (in/out of
the school environment), positive influence on friends and classmates; assuming responsibility for tasks.
3. Service/Activity: Evidence of serving at school, in the community, through recreation activities,
employment, and with your family and friends.
4. Scholarship/Effort: Attendance, behavior and GPA are reported from the counselor’s office.
In order to evaluate students for selection, the Foundation for Leadership Committee is asking that you complete the enclosed
Student Information Forms. The forms will be critical in helping the committee make the most objective decisions possible. All
scoring is done blindly. All names are redacted, and replaced with an identification number for applicants prior to being
scored by the judges.
Leadership is also a criterion by which the committee will evaluate students for selection. You will need to develop a leadership
statement in which you discuss your role as a leader or the role leadership plays in your life as a FHS student. The school’s
guidance office will provide the committee with the credits, attendance & behavior information.
In order to establish minimum definitive objective criteria for determining a student’s cooperation with rules and
regulations, the FFL Board has determined that students who have engaged in the following shall not be
considered for a character-based scholarship:
Please initial in each line. Your initials state that you HAVE NOT been guilty of the offense in the statement.
____ Pled guilty or no contest/nolo contender to, been adjudicated for, or received probation, deferred
adjudication, or any other type of deferred prosecution for delinquent conduct or conduct indicating a
need for supervision under the Texas Juvenile Justice Code;
____ Pled guilty or no contest/nolo contender to, been convicted of, or received probation, deferred
adjudication or other type of deferred prosecution for a felony or misdemeanor offense (other than
minor traffic violations) in the adult justice system; or
____ Been removed from participation in extracurricular activities or received some other regulatory
sanction as a result of anabolic steroid testing conducted by the UIL.
By completing and returning the attached application, you are acknowledging that you have not
engaged in any of the above activities. Moreover, you agree that, should you engage in any such
activity after the date of submission of your application and your graduation from FISD, you will
withdraw your character-based scholarship application and/or return any scholarship funds delivered to
you.
The Foundation for Leadership Selection Committee, made up of selected FFL Board of Directors, will meet to screen all eligible
students’ applications. We congratulate you on your achievements and are looking forward to receiving your Student
Information Forms. Scholarships will be distributed upon proof of enrollment in a trade school or higher education institution,
within 5 years of graduation from FHS.
