IHS is a large public high school - students interested in being considered for a scholarship opportunity that require a nomination need to bring a current high school resume to the Career Center no later than October 15th of your junior and/or senior year. All resumes will be scored. Based on the scholarship criteria IHS will select the best qualified student to nominate (selected students need to follow through on all application details)
