CVHS Senior Scholarship Application
The CVHS Foundation awards $1,000 scholarships each year to graduating seniors who have made a meaningful positive impact during their time at Capistrano Valley High School. Awards are merit-based and recognize initiative, contribution, and the potential to continue making a difference beyond CVHS. Note: A minimum GPA of 2.5 is required. You do not need to have been in every club or held every title. We are looking for genuine impact — one sustained contribution or achievement can be more powerful than a long list of casual memberships.
