We will give the PSAT at RHS on October 23. Sophomores and Juniors who want to take this optional test can sign up with this link and pay here.  The registration fee is $18 (plus $1.07 OSP fee) and is due by September 20.

The PSAT/NMSQT is the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which students may take as a sophomore or junior. High enough marks on the PSAT/NMSQT as a junior can help a student earn a National Merit Scholarship, which can mean money for college.  The optional test is given online this year.

We’re excited to kick off the 26th year of the Hispanic Heritage Foundation’s (HHF) Youth Awards! Applications are officially live for our educational grants of up to $4,000 to support the Class of 2025 as they pursue higher education or launch community-focused initiatives.

We are looking for students who have made remarkable achievements in the classroom, made an impact in their communities, and demonstrated excellence in one or more of the following categories:

• Community Service
• Education
• Engineering
• Entrepreneurship & Business
• Green Sustainability
• Healthcare & Science
• Media & Entertainment
• Public Service & Social
• Justice
• Technology

To be considered, students must:

• Be currently enrolled in high school, graduating in the spring of 2025.
• Hold a minimum unweighted GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or 7.5 on a 10.0 scale.
• Enroll at an accredited higher education institution in 2025 – 2026.

The deadline for the 40th Debutante Scholarship Program has been extended. This is an opportunity for junior and senior young ladies to gain knowledge through workshops, information on etiquette, physical and mental health, rites of passage, learning the waltz, community engagement, and more.
