Chi Am Circle High School Scholarship

Chi Am Circle’s signature commitment to education has been its scholarship awards programs. For over 40 years, Chi Am Circle has provided scholarships for graduating high school seniors in Santa Clara County. In 2017, an additional category of scholarship was established – the Chi Am Circle Outreach High School Scholarship for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

The Chi Am Circle High School Scholarship awards range in value from $1,000 to $5,000. The program is very competitive and scholarship recipients are selected based upon a variety of factors including academic achievement, community service, financial need, and noteworthy extracurricular activities such as work, performing arts, and athletics.

• Be a high school senior in the current academic year
