The Glendale School District Education Foundation encourages all alumni, parents, grandparents and local businesses to "leave a legacy". Leaving a Legacy can mean helping the students currently attending school, which would be our immediate need for financial resources to fund nearly $30K in annual allocation programs to directly improve the academic environment of 'today's' students. By definition, "legacy" means a charitable bequest, endowment, or benefaction for a longer term of time: an 'inheritance' of funding that can be utilized for our children's children into perpetuity. This may be yet a better explanation of our philosophy to "Leave a Legacy" through our charitable foundation!

SENIOR SCHOLARSHIPS - Updates 2023
|
Members of the Glendale Education Foundation Board of Directors have been busy working on scholarship opportunities for the students in the senior class. Class of 2023 Graduates will have an opportunity to receive thousands of dollars in scholarships with criteria such as: academic success, community service, excellence in the trades, achievements on the athletic field or in extra-curricular activities, etc.
Board Members Maryann Stackhouse, Diane Andrews, Sherri Campbell, and William Morrison have visited with students and presented materials to parents at the Open House in September. Parents of seniors were mailed, at Foundation expense, detailed lists of every local scholarship, along with other scholarships that they might want to apply for. Guidance Counselor Kim Kozak, has established an online Google Classroom where all members of the Class of 2023 will have access to instructions, lists of potential scholarships along with the applications form for each. The GSDEF is responsible for managing all local scholarships, but students and parents are reminded that there are many opportunities for scholarship applicationsvoutside of the Foundation. See Mrs. Kozak for information on these. In order to assist students and parents with application process details, GSDEF has created a short video for your use. The video is available in the Class of 2023 Scholarship Classroom. |
