A variety of scholarship funds have been established at the Foundation.

• Inskeep Scholarship – For local high school graduates who demonstrate significant need and an ability to succeed to attend college or university.
• John Volk Memorial Scholarship – For individuals who demonstrate a dedication to community service and wish to pursue a career in aviation or aviation related public services.
• Career Training & Scholarship – For both individuals and programs that provide training for career paths.
• General Scholarship  - For local high school graduates to attend an accredited community college, 2-year college, or vocational/career program.

The Foundation offers several different scholarship programs. Each program its own criteria.  Please review the selection criteria for the scholarship program to which you plan to apply.

Certain scholarship programs are targeted to career paths and you are encouraged to call us at (360) 378-1001 and to apply.

A scholarship may be used to pay for tuition, lab fees and required text materials.  It may not be applied to costs of transportation, ferries or housing.

Scholarship awards are always paid to the educational institution on behalf of the named recipient.  Any unused portion will be returned to the Foundation. No awards will be made directly to students or their families.

Anytime.  Applications for college programs are usually reviewed in the spring. Other applications are considered throughout the year.

The availability of scholarships is advertised locally.  Applications can be downloaded from the Foundation website, obtained at the high schools or, by dropping by the San Juan Island Community Foundation Office, 640 Mullis, Suite 104, Friday Harbor, WA.  You may also call the Foundation office, 378-1001.

Recipients are selected based upon a fully completed application that is submitted by the specified deadline. Interviews will be arranged and additional information may be requested before the review committee makes its decision. The number of applicants always exceeds the number of available awards. Not all applicants will receive funding.

The date of notification depends on the type of scholarship. Please call the office at (360) 378-1001 for information about your specific application.

If you maintain good academic standing and continue to meet the scholarship criteria, you may reapply for additional funds at the end of each grant period. However, continued funding is never guarenteed.
