The Roundhouse Foundation was established with a mission to encourage community enrichment and economic development through the arts in Central Oregon.  For this reason, The Roundhouse Foundation is offering scholarships to be distributed to middle and high school students in Sisters for enriching experiences. Sisters GRO manages this scholarship and oversees the application, recipient selection, and disbursement process.

Roundhouse Foundation Enrichment Experience Applications are accepted all year but must be received no later than 21 days prior to the experience activity or payment due date, allowing time for processing and consideration. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered.  A selection committee of Sisters School District staff, Sisters GRO board members and Sisters community leaders will determine recipients and scholarship award amounts.

​

Roundhouse scholarship applications for 2026-27 are open. Applications are reviewed as they are received. Funding is limited.​
