RHA High School Scholarship Awards
The RHA High School Scholarship Awards are part of the Rossmoor Home Owners Association’s ongoing support of education in our community. Our neighborhood support of education both for the LAUSD and our students has its roots in Rossmoor developer Ross Cortese’s vision for Rossmoor and the importance he and his wife, Alona, put on education.
To be considered for the awards the high school student’s family needs to be current RHA members and the student must:
- Be a Rossmoor resident.
- Be on track to graduate during the contest year from an accredited high school program.

- Complete and submit the essay as outlined on the current year’s Award application.
