The Stanwood-Camano Area Foundation hosted their annual Scholarship Night Event to present Stanwood-Camano Community Scholarships for local seniors on May 27. Special thanks to program and event sponsors: Stanwood High School, American Legion Post 92, The UPS Store, and The Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians.
128 students received 287 scholarships from 122 donors. 18 of those scholarships were renewable for an additional one to three years. The grand total of support that the Class of 2025 received from the community was a record breaking $341,290.
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 or attending the Stanwood-Camano School District is eligible to apply, even if homeschooled or attending a private school.
