The Stanwood Camano Area Foundation, in partnership with Stanwood High School and the American Legion Post 92, hosted their annual Scholarship Night Event to present Stanwood-Camano Community Scholarships for local seniors on May 30. 148 graduating seniors received a record breaking 297 scholarships from 114 donors, valued at $246,125. 12 of those scholarships were renewable for an additional one to three years, bringing the total value of the awards up to $293,125.
All scholarships presented on Scholarship Night are sponsored by local individuals, families, businesses, and community organizations. Many are from endowments that were set up years ago by local families to create a perpetual annual scholarship in memory of a lost loved one. Any senior living within the Stanwood-Camano School District is eligible to apply, even if homeschooled or attending a private school.
