Foundation Scholarships
- Dr. Edward B. Turchick Memorial Scholarship ($2,000.00) - awarded to a Glendale senior student who has completed an exemplary community-oriented OR school-oriented project, fills out a descriptive project questionnaire, earned a 90% grade point average, fills out the 'student scholarship information form', and gives a 3-5 minute presentation about the project to judges (*the 3 members of the Foundation Scholarship subcommittee). This scholarship was named in honor of Dr. Turchick, who, besides serving as Glendale's superintendent for many years, was a charter member of our Foundation--guiding us through the difficult early years of the organization. **In addition, this particular scholarship is endowed by an anonymous donor**
- Glendale Educational-Community Scholarship ($500.00) – randomly drawn from a list of select student candidates who have earned a minimum 90% GPA, have completed the 'local scholarship information' form and have been accepted to an institute of higher education.
- Building Futures Scholarship ($1,000.00) - awarded to a Glendale senior student accepted into any career-focused vocational-technical or trade school--with the intention of completing the degree requirements to acquire an academic certificate in that specific trade or vocation.

SCHOLARSHIP SPONSORS INCREASING AT GLENDALE
The Glendale School District Education Foundation, in cooperation with the Glendale High School guidance and administrative offices, had been putting out the word to local businesses, organizations, alumni and individuals to please consider sponsoring scholarships for our Glendale High School graduating seniors. It worked, as many individual donors heeded the call for scholarships in a BIG WAY! In the past few years, Glendale graduates seeking to attend institutes of higher learning have benefited from the generosity of a wealth of sponsors in the past 2-3 years, with quite a few in the $1,000 range! Many of these sponsors chose to give back to the children of Glendale by providing funding for our high school graduates through annual gifts distributed through our non-profit 501(c)(3) Glendale Education Foundation--which provides expert services such as: allowing donors to remain anonymous if desired, assist with creating a selection criteria unique to you as well as the school, have our reputable Foundation scholarship subcommittee to help select the winning student, make attractive certificates to accompany the check as well receive notice back to the donor of the name and school/major of their scholarship
