SJI Service Scholarship Program
Posted December 20, 2015 at 5:42 am by Tim Dustrude
Dear San Juan Island Neighbor & Friend,
May your holiday season be filled with joy and thanks for the gift of living in such a special place!
As you may already know, the mission of San Juan Island Service Scholarship is to support higher education and promote volunteerism among our community’s youth. Students who have completed a minimum of 80 hours of volunteer community service during their high school career are eligible for a scholarship from our organization.
The scholarship is not based upon grades, but solely upon a student’s volunteer efforts to make their own community a better place to live. This allows every student the opportunity to qualify for a scholarship to use toward higher education through service to the San Juan Island community.
In 2015 our organization:
- Granted over $23,000 in local scholarships
- Helped foster over 1,200 hours of student volunteerism on San Juan Island
- Supported 30+ local non-profit & service organizations
By making a donation to the San Juan Island Service Scholarship Fund, you directly support and encourage these young people to become the next generation of volunteers and leaders.
To keep this great program going we do need your financial help whether it is a $10, $100, or $1,000 donation.
If you received our letter please consider contributing, if we missed you in our mailer – don’t worry, just visit us on the web at www.sjiservicescholarship.org to donate online!
San Juan Island Service Scholarship is a registered 501(c)(3 ) non-profit organization and your donation is fully tax deductible.
Sincerely and with appreciation on behalf of our future leaders,
June Arnold
President
San Juan Island Service Scholarship
