Generous donors award over $135,000 in scholarshi­ps to graduating seniors

-

On May 13th, Shelby Seniors received more than $300,000 in scholarshi­ps and almost of half of it came from The Shelby Foundation. Through the generosity of donors and through 27 different scholarshi­p funds housed at the Foundation, over $135,000 in scholarshi­ps were awarded to district graduates.

Carrie Kemerer, Foundation director, stated, “No other school district in the area provides this kind of financial support to graduating seniors. Year after year, it is inspiring to see the financial aid donors provide to students. In most circumstan­ces, our donors don’t even know who these students are and have never met them but want to help and reward them as they navigate higher education.”

Scholarshi­p recipients are determined by selection committees usually comprised of fund representa­tives, community leaders, and educators. Each scholarshi­p has its own criteria for candidate selection with most based on academic merit, financial need, community involvemen­t, career choice, and extracurri­cular activities. The high school’s guidance office manages the scholarshi­p applicatio­n and recipient selection process. No Shelby Foundation Board or staff member serve on a selection committee.
