What is the Alumni Scholarship Fund?
During the 1998-99 school year, the South Colonie Central School District celebrated its 50th anniversary as a centralized school district. As part of the year long recognition of this historic event, a committee of alumni was established in collaboration with the district to arrive upon a memorable gift to present to the district during its 50th Anniversary Grand Finale in May, 1999. The Alumni Committee decided upon establishing an Alumni Scholarship Fund.
What is the purpose of the South Colonie Alumni Scholarship Fund?
The purpose of the fund is to present scholarships at the annual awards ceremony during the month of May to graduating seniors who will be furthering their education. The criteria of the scholarship is established each year by a scholarship selection committee.
Where does the fund comes from to support the South Colonie Alumni Scholarship Fund?
The scholarship funds have come from a grass roots effort among alumni and other members of the community. More than $10,000 has been raised to date. These funds will remain in perpetuity. Scholarships will be drawn from the interest earned on the principal amount. There is an ongoing effort to raised additional funds with the goal of expanding scholarships to our students.
