CHOICE Scholarships are awarded yearly in a random lottery drawing held without regard to race, religion, ethnic background, academic achievement or test scores. Students are not required to have a certain grade point average to be awarded a scholarship. SCS realized that students with lower scores may be the ones who most need the extra attention a school may offer.
