Making a donation toward a Kiwanis scholarship is an
investment in the future of our community and the world. The students
receiving scholarship awards hope to become physicians, scientists, educators,
writers, inventors and more. The cost of higher education prevents many
students from realizing their dreams and fulfilling their potential.
Scholarships give students hope that those dreams are within reach. In
addition, because we go through the Dollars for Scholars Foundation, many of the
scholarships awarded can receive matching dollars from the University the
students attend. That doubles our investment!
Kiwanis Club of North Mason Foundation
Trust Fund
The Kiwanis Club of North Mason Foundation Trust Fund is a
501(c)3 non-profit foundation that raises money to provide scholarships to
worthy, qualified North Mason High School students. Scholarship recipients
are chosen based on their academic achievements, community involvement,
need, and future goals. Established in August of 2000, the Foundation
has awarded scholarships every year to graduating North Mason High School
seniors.
The Foundation currently has three scholarships in three different accounts
to be awarded annually. The general Foundation fund generates enough
interest, that a $500 scholarship is awarded annually. The Tom Kelly
Memorial Scholarship Fund honors former North Mason School District
Superintendent and a Kiwanis member. It provides an annual scholarship of
$500 until the donations to this fund are used or until donations
reach $10,000, at which point it becomes perpetual. The Gordon
Monten annual vocational award of $500 is also managed through the Trust
and awarded annually.
The Kiwanis Club of North
Mason
The Kiwanis Club of North Mason raises money throughout
the year to give additional scholarships to deserving North Mason High School
seniors. Total award amounts vary depending on the success of our four
summer garage sales and other fund raising events. A special thank you
to our community for all the donations to make the garage sales
successful. In recent years we have been able to award over $3500 in
scholarships each year.
