Why We Fundraise
Holliston SEPAC holds several fundraisers each year with the specific goal of giving back to the community. We have our annual Trunk or Treat, and also hold an Unified Basketball event, and photo shoot mini sessions. We are always looking to add to new events to support our community! Supporting our fundraising efforts enables SEPAC to continue to give back to students, families, and educators in a meaningful way.
Please follow us on Facebook and subscribe to our mailing list so that you can receive announcements for our upcoming fundraisers. We welcome your participation!
Holliston SEPAC Gives Back
What is it?
Started in 2021, SEPAC Gives Back is an annual grant for families of children that receive special education or support services through Holliston Public Schools. Holliston Public School staff who provide special education services may also apply. In 2023, our SEPAC Gives Back program was able to award 37 grants to families and educators - more than double of our first two years combined!
How does it work?
Parents or caregivers of Holliston Public School students receiving special education or support services can apply for grant money based on a specific need or item that student may need. Holliston Public School staff providing these services can also apply for grant money for a specific item for a classroom or for a student. Grants can range from $25-$200 per family or classroom.
How do I apply?
Look for an announcement on Facebook and our website in November with all the details of how to apply for a grant.
Holliston SEPAC Scholarship Program
What is it?
A scholarship grant for graduating Holliston High School students with physical, learning, social-emotional, and/or intellectual disabilities who have received accommodations, support, and/or services through an IEP or 504 Plan throughout most of their education. In our first year of giving in 2024, we were able to award two scholarships!
How does it work?
Students pursuing any one of the following post-secondary educational opportunities may apply for a scholarship: a four-year undergraduate college or university, a two-year undergraduate college, a trade or technical school, a vocational school, a transitional/cooperative life skills program, and/or a focus on a particular area of interest such as a creative project, performance, and/or participation in classes, training activities, or competitions.
Applicants do not need to submit the universal scholarship application but do need to submit a personal statement, video, or audio recording (no longer than 3 minutes in length) that describes your goals, interests, and/or skills, and how you would use this scholarship award to pursue these.
