Proviso Township
Our Scholarships
Proviso Township High Schools District consists of three public high schools, and draws students from 10 diverse communities.
Proviso East is located in Maywood, and was founded in 1910. The school serves four villages: Broadview, Forest Park, Maywood, and Melrose Park.
Proviso West is located in Hillside, and was founded in 1958 to accommodate the burgeoning population within the Township. The school serves seven villages: Bellwood, Berkeley, Broadview, Hillside, Northlake, Stone Park, and Westchester.
Proviso Mathematics and Science Academy is located in Forest Park. It was founded in 2005 as a selective enrollment academy, accepting students from all 10 Proviso District 209 communities.
We designed our scholarship selection process with fairness and integrity in mind. All applications have identifying information redacted by a volunteer who does not sit on the selection committee. The Selection Committee is a diverse group of individuals from across the Proviso District. They each review scholarships and make their recommendations to the board for funding. If you are interested in getting involved let us know!
