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

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 a:

• Annual scholarship: A one-time gift of a minimum of $1,000 along with a 7% administrative fee that supports GRO’s operations.

• Renewable scholarship: A scholarship that can be renewed by the recipient for multiple years, at a minimum of $1,000 per year along with a 7% administrative fee. Renewable scholarships are due in total the first year offered. For example, if you wish to award $1,000/yr for 4 years you will contribute the full $4,000 plus fee the first year offered.

• Endowed scholarship: A one-time investment that generates ongoing awards. Learn more about starting an endowment.

​​

​​​Scholarship selection is managed through our online platform, AwardSpring, and must follow IRS guidelines: relatives of donors are not eligible to receive the scholarship and donors may not control the selection process, meaning the selection committee must include more non-donors than donors. 

​

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.
