For many years our organization has offered a scholarship opportunity to graduating seniors whose families are PCLDA members. These scholarships are named in honor of Dr. Dale Lawrence, former Superintendent of Instruction for HPISD and former principal of Hyer Elementary School. These scholarships are only given to students who have successfully dealt with a diagnosed learning difference and to families who have been PCLDA members for the last two years. We would love for all our graduating seniors to apply for one of these scholarships.
Applications are made through the general HPHS scholarship application process. Scholarship winners are announced at the HPHS Senior Awards Ceremony each May.
Students outside of HPISD can email dallasbirdhouse@gmail.com or mail submissions to PCLDA/Katie Bird, 3627 Asbury, Dallas, TX 75205.
Please encourage your senior to apply! Please encourage other parents of sophomores and younger you know to join PCLDA, so they can apply when they are seniors.
Dale Lawrence Scholarship Essay Question: What is your greatest strength/superpower, and how do you think you will use it after high school?
At the top of the essay, please list the diagnosed learning difference you have, when you were diagnosed, and by whom you were diagnosed.
Thank you,
PCLDA
