The Redlands High School Spiritleaders Scholarship 2027 rewards seniors who committed at least two years to the RHS Spiritleaders program before graduation.

CareerOneStop lists a February 5 deadline while older RCSF packets cited February 20, so verify the live date with your counselor.

What is the Redlands Spiritleaders Scholarship?

Spiritleaders spend Friday nights on the track and Saturday mornings at community events, often while keeping homework done on the bus ride home. This $300 fund recognizes seniors who stayed in the program at least two years and kept grades strong enough for GPA-based selection.

Redlands Community Scholarship Foundation folded Spiritleaders into the same online senior application as every other local award. That saves you from mailing booster paperwork, but it also means a thin activity section or late transcript can hurt you across multiple funds at once. List every season, note captain or officer roles, and let your essay explain how representing Redlands High shaped your plans after graduation.

Because GPA weighs heavily, meet your counselor early if you need a grade recovery plan before February. You can still pair this award with activity-specific funds like the Redlands Girls Volleyball Boosters Scholarship if you also played volleyball, or the Terrier Band Boosters Scholarship if you split time between spirit and instrumental music.
