Scholarships

The North Thurston Education Foundation offers scholarships to graduating seniors to assist in financing their post-high school education in the 2019-20 school year.

Scholarships are awarded for those ‘who will be’ attending community colleges, vocational or technical schools or colleges or universities.

In addition to graduating from a North Thurston Public School, applicants must have demonstrated

(1) The skills necessary to succeed in their chosen post-secondary school.

(2) Good citizenship and leadership qualities.

(3) A need for financial assistance to meet their educational goals.

Foundation scholarships vary in amounts awarded but the total value of each scholarship is no less than $2,000. Most scholarships are one-year grants, but some are renewable for either two or four years based on the recipient’s academic progress.

* The Foundation awards the following scholarships, many in memory of important individuals who served our community.

To be considered for a Foundation Scholarship an applicant must

– Submit a short essay as described on the application.
– Submit a transcript of grades
– Submit a completed application form.
– All documents need to be printed on ONLY one-sided and submitted as a unit. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered.
