Senior Scholarships
Evanston Township High School is proud to award scholarships that celebrate the achievements, ambitions, and potential of our students. These scholarships are managed by College & Career Services and made possible by the generosity of our community members, alumni, organizations, and families who invest in the future of ETHS graduates.
Each year, ETHS seniors can apply for a range of scholarships that reflect their passions, financial needs, plans for continued education, and contributions to their community. Thanks to the generosity of those who believe in ETHS, tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships are available to support seniors as they pursue their post-high school goals.
