Any student who is currently enrolled as a senior at Polson High School or as a previous PHS graduate is eligible for these scholarships, which are provided by Polson Scholarship and Education Foundation (PSEF).

Money for PSEF, is generated by various fundraising events, donations from individuals and clubs, and from families who provide scholarships in memory of loved ones.

This year, 15 different $1,000 scholarships are geared for high school seniors, and 14 scholarships for up to $2,000 are available for PHS students enrolled in college. These scholarships are for any accredited four-year, two-year, community college or vocational program.

Qualifications vary with each scholarship. All students are encouraged to apply as these scholarships are for every type of student with various grade point averages. 

Last year 36 students received more than $46,000 in scholarships from the foundation. The scholarship application is available online at Polson High School website, under the heading "Counseling/PSEF”.
