Crosby Scholars High School Requirements: As Easy as 1, 2, 3!

Staying active in the Crosby Scholars Program is easy! Each school year, high school students must complete the following requirements:

1️⃣ Attend a Crosby Scholars Academy
Participate in one Crosby Scholars Academy during the school year.

2️⃣ Complete and Submit Community Service
Complete at least 2 hours of community service and submit your hours using the online Community Service Form.

3️⃣ Be a Responsible Crosby Scholar
Be a good citizen by maintaining positive behavior at school and in your community, staying academically engaged, and regularly checking your email and text messages for important Crosby Scholars updates and opportunities.

⭐ Remember: These requirements must be completed every school year to remain active and in good standing with the Crosby Scholars Program.

Each Crosby Scholar must complete 2 hours of community service every school year. Your service does not have to be through Crosby Scholars. Volunteering at your school, church, a nonprofit, food pantry, community event, or with a club or team can count!

⚠️ Don’t forget to submit your hours! Completing the service is only part of the requirement. You must also submit your hours through the Community Service Submission Form to receive credit. ✅

Looking for a way to complete your 2 hours of community service? Since September 30 is a half day/early release, join us at Rowan Helping Ministries from 3:00–5:00 PM! A Crosby Scholars representative will be there to volunteer alongside our scholars. It’s a great way to use your early release afternoon to give back to our community and check off your service requirement! ✅
