FOR STUDENTS ENTERING GRADES 9-12 
Trinity has a great appreciation for education. We know as a high school student you are required to earn volunteer hours each year. As a VC, each week you have the option of using your
week’s hours to fulfill these school requirements or you can receive a $100 grant to be used toward educational expenses. Whichever you choose, we are excited to be able to support you in your journey
as a student! *Note: You cannot split up a week into both volunteer hours and the educational grant.
