  • The Marion T. "Mr. Bill" Eldridge Service Scholarship

    The Seton Parent Club Organization (PCO) has established The Marion T. “Mr. Bill” Eldridge Service Scholarship. It is awarded annually to current ESHS students at each grade level. This scholarship is to recognize those students, who in the spirit of kindness and selflessness, have performed exceptional community service above current ESHS service requirements.

    Please note that the total number of volunteer hours will not be the sole determining factor for awarding this Scholarship. Volunteer service must be performed without any monetary or in-kind compensation and can be done for the Seton High School community; nonprofit, religious and/or charitable organizations. Additionally, work can be performed for profit organizations whose mission is to help those in need or improve society; or an
    individual/family in need (outside the applicant's immediate family). To be considered for this scholarship, volunteer service should be performed between June 1, 2023, through the scholarship application deadline.

    Eligibility criteria: Elizabeth Seton High School students with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher; exceed the minimum service hour requirements; and have no current disciplinary actions. The PCO Scholarship Committee will review/evaluate applications and the PCO will award the successful applicants based on the
    following monetary distributions (one student per grade level, and potentially an honorable mention for the senior grade level).

    Freshman: $950 (minimum of 10 service hours required)
    Sophomore: $1,150 (minimum of 15 service hours required)
    Junior: $1,400 (minimum of 15 service hours required)
    Senior: $1,700* (minimum of 20 service hours required)
    Senior (honorable mention): $1,000** (minimum of 20 service hours required)

    *Winning senior(s) will receive a check. **Honorable mention awards are not guaranteed and will be determined by the PCO Board with input from the selection committee’s evaluations.

    Recipient awards for grades 9-11 will be applied to their ESHS student accounts for the
    coming year.
