General Scholarship

 

Thank you to the following donors who made monetary contributions to the General Scholarship Fund for the 2007/08 school year, totaling over $8,000.00!

 

As most of you are probably aware, the General Scholarship was established in 1988 through the efforts of the Class of 1938, with Georgina Johnson acting as organizer and fund-raiser.  The Class of 1938 decided that they wanted to do something “special” for the high school and forming a scholarship fund was the idea.  It was realized that most people could not afford to donate large enough amounts of money to generate enough interest every year to award a scholarship, but if many donated small amounts, it could be done.  Thus, the unique General Scholarship was established.  The General Scholarship is just what it states – general.  Recipients may study in a two or four-year college/university or technical school, in the career field of their choice. 

 

This unique scholarship was first awarded in 1990.  From pennies to dollars, this scholarship fund continues to grow and to date, over $148,000 has been awarded to 84 graduating seniors of Iron Mountain High School. 

 

All donations, large or small continue to support higher education for the students of Iron Mountain High School and are greatly appreciated.  Contributions of $100 or more are recognized with their name engraved on our General Scholarship plaque.  Donations can be given in memory/honor of classmates, parents, siblings, teachers, friends and even special life events.  Currently, names are being added to the sixth plaque.
