Scholarship Night 2023

Local students earn record number of scholarships
Posted on 05/31/2023

A record-breaking 297 scholarships from 114 donors were awarded to 148 graduating seniors during a ceremony Tuesday night in the Stanwood High Performing Arts Center.

Combined, the scholarships are valued at $246,125 — 12 of those scholarships were renewable for an additional one to three years, bringing the total value of the awards up to $293,125.

The scholarships were presented by the Stanwood Camano Area Foundation during the annual Scholarship Night event, which is also available to watch online.

SCAF, in partnership with Stanwood High School and the American Legion Post 92, awards scholarships that are sponsored by local individuals, families, businesses, and community organizations. Many are from endowments set up years ago by local families to create a perpetual annual scholarship in memory of a lost loved one. 

Any senior living within the Stanwood-Camano School District is eligible to apply, even if homeschooled or attending a private school.
