Thank you for your interest in supporting Sisters High School students! Your generosity helps shape brighter futures and strengthens our community.

Sisters GRO supports three types of scholarships: corporate, nonprofit, and private. Scholarships can fund a wide range of post-secondary paths — from trade schools and training programs to community colleges and universities. Eligibility guidelines are flexible and can reflect your values and interests.

You can establish an:

• Annual or Renewable scholarship: Annual gifts of a minimum of $1,000 along with a 7% contribution to support GRO’s operations. Can be awarded as a one-time scholarship or renewed by the awardee for multiple years. 

• Endowed scholarship: A one-time investment that generates ongoing awards.

​​

Disbursement option:

• Use a Sisters GRO pass-through fund for a tax-deductible donation​

​​

Scholarship selection is managed through our online platform, AwardSpring, and must follow IRS guidelines: donors may not control the selection process, and relatives of donors are not eligible.

​

The annual schedule for scholarship sponsors is as follows:

• October/November: Scholarship offerings for the year are confirmed and information is updated in AwardSpring, Sisters GRO starts collecting scholarship donations. 

• January/February: Students gain access to AwardSpring to view and apply for scholarships.

• February/March: Scholarship selection committees gain access to AwardSpring to review scholarship applications and select and submit final scholarship recipients.

• April: Sponsors and recipients attend annual Senior Celebration to distribute scholarship awards.
