The SUHI Foundation: Our Lamp Glows Bright, In Our Hearts SUHI Lives

For the 12th year, The SUHI Foundation awarded scholarships to students at Sweetwater High School. This year, 25 scholarships were presented to the Class of 2018 graduating seniors, totaling a record-breaking $106,000. The SUHI Foundation also administers the scholarship program of its close partner, the Morgan Family Foundation, which will be awarding 24 scholarships, accounting for an additional $208,000. The Morgan Family Foundation has also awarded a full cost-of-attendance scholarship, with an estimated value of $230,000, to one student who will be attending the University of Colorado at Boulder. This scholarship was first awarded in 2005, and since then, the Morgan Family Foundation has continued to support multiple SUHI Scholars.

The scholarships presented range from $500 to $20,000, including those which are payable over four years. This year, The SUHI Foundation has expanded the scholarships available, including the introduction of two new awards that were presented in memory of former SUHI teachers – Mrs. Patricia Peace Browning and Ms. Laura Charles. With the support of alumni and other community members who have established scholarship funds, The SUHI Foundation continues to fulfill its mission by funding deserving university and community college-bound students in their attainment of a Bachelor’s Degree. To date, it has granted over $800,000 to 127 SUHI Scholars, while the Morgan Family Foundation has also funded over $2 million since 2001.

Congratulations to all of our 2018 awarded graduates! We hope to continue to add to our list of scholarships each year.
