Scholarships
We are proud to partner with private donors to offer scholarships for deserving Homewood High School graduating seniors. Applications are available through Homewood High School.
The Dr. Jodi Newton Scholarship
The Dr. Jodi Newton Scholarship was established in 2008 by the Homewood City Schools Foundation and the Homewood Board of Education to honor former Superintendent Dr. Jodi Newton.
This $1,000 scholarship, which is funded by the Foundation and its generous donors, is awarded annually to a Homewood High School senior who best exemplifies the qualities of the late Dr. Newton. The scholarship winner is selected based on leadership skills, service to school and community, and strong character.
The Caitlin Creed Character Award
This award was created in memory of Caitlin Creed, a Homewood High School cheerleader, by the cheerleading sponsors, Holly Drake and Maggie Stoffregen. The award recognizes a high school senior who exemplifies good character and serves as a leader among the school’s cheerleading squad.
After the award was established, Brad and Kathy Creed, Caitlin’s parents, created a scholarship for the award recipient. The scholarship amount is $1,000 and is awarded to the Caitlin Creed Character Award recipient in the spring.
The Jody Atchison Scholarship
This award was established in memory of Joanne (Jody) Atchison. Jody taught at Homewood Middle School for 29 years and received numerous honors, including Public School Health Education Teacher of the Year and ASAHPERD Physical Education Teacher of the Year. This scholarship is awarded each spring to a female student of exemplary character that has an interest in a health related field or physical education.
The Aniah Blanchard Memorial Scholarship
This award was established in memory of Aniah Blanchard, a graduate of Homewood High School.
Before Superintendent Dr. Bill Clevleand retired from Homewood City Schools, he wanted to do something to remind everyone what our schools are about—our students. “Once you are a Patriot, you are always a Patriot,” he said.
“Aniah will always be a Patriot to all of us. She brought a smile to everyone’s face during her time at Homewood High, and her leadership on the softball field empowered her teammates and her coaches. With this scholarship, we’ll get to remember Aniah in a different way—as somebody that is not only here every day in spirit, but somebody that’s helping dreams come true of somebody going to college.”
