The Stanwood-Camano Area Foundation is committed to fostering and promoting a culture of philanthropy in our local community. We work with community members, businesses, and other local non-profit organizations to connect people who care with the causes and initiatives that matter most to them. We build a healthy, sustainable community through a variety of programs that provide basic needs, promote arts & culture, support education, and enhance quality of life.
The community scholarship program was created to make it easier for students to apply for the many different scholarships offered by local sponors each year. The program made finding and applying for local scholarships much easier for students through the introduction of a standard scholarship application, a standard timeline, and a central coordination point for the appliction process. The community scholarship program also makes it easy for any individual, family, group or business to offer scholarships to local students without having to create an award process on their own.
