Recognizing Character That Strengthens a Community

The Go Beyond Scholarship celebrates seniors whose everyday choices make a difference. The program recognizes integrity, service, resilience, leadership, and inclusion, especially when those qualities may not come with a grade, award, or public attention.

It is designed for the student who helps others, contributes consistently, responds to challenges with strength, or makes school and community life better through action.

How the Program Works

1

Nominate

Loveland High School staff nominate a current senior based on a firsthand example of character, service, resilience, or leadership.

2

Recognize

One senior is recognized each month from September through May and receives a local recognition package.

3

Award

The nine monthly honorees are invited to become finalists for one $5,000 scholarship, split into four annual payments of $1,250.

Current seniors only

Nominees must be current Loveland High School seniors.

Staff nominations

Teachers, coaches, counselors, administrators, and support staff may nominate.

Character, not accolades

Recognition is not based on GPA, class rank, test scores, athletics, financial need, or popularity.

Specific stories matter

A firsthand example of integrity, service, resilience, leadership, or inclusion is more useful than general praise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can be nominated?

Current Loveland High School seniors may be nominated by teachers, coaches, counselors, administrators, or support staff who have personally observed an example of character, service, resilience, leadership, or inclusion.

What should a staff member include in a nomination?

Please share a specific firsthand story. Explain what the student did, who was affected, and why the moment reflects the student’s character. General praise is less helpful than a concrete example.

How are monthly honorees selected?

Nominations are reviewed through a consistent character-based review process. The focus is on the student’s demonstrated integrity, service, resilience, leadership, or inclusion, not academic or popularity measures.

How does the year-end scholarship work?

The nine monthly honorees are invited to become finalists. The $5,000 scholarship is split into four annual payments of $1,250. The recipient must meet the postsecondary enrollment and annual renewal requirements in the program terms.

What happens if a selected student does not want public recognition?

Public recognition is never required. Wolterman Law will respect the student’s and family’s preference, and written permission will be requested before any public recognition is shared.
