Alma Area Foundation

THE ALMA AREA FOUNDATION CURRENTLY MANAGES 13 HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS. THESE SCHOLARSHIPS ALLOW US TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE GRADUATING CLASS AT WABAUNSEE HIGH SCHOOL EACH YEAR. CLASS SIZE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL AVERAGES AROUND 30 STUDENTS. WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR 13 OF THOSE STUDENTS EACH YEAR. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE THREE OTHER SCHOLARSHIPS THAT WE OFFER TO COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO WERE GRADUATES OF WABAUNSEE HIGH SCHOOL. THE WAY THESE SCHOLARSHIPS ARE STRUCTURED WE ARE ABLE TO FURTHER ASSIST 4-5 COLLEGE STUDENTS EACH YEAR WITH THEIR COLLEGE EXPENSES AS ONE OF THE SCHOLARSHIPS IS RENEWABLE FOR THREE YEARS.DUE TO A RECENT BEQUEST LEFT TO THE ALMA AREA FOUNDATION, WE WERE ABLE TO PURCHASE THE BUILDING THAT HOUSES THE LIBRARY IN ALMA. IN DOING SO, WE WERE ABLE TO INSURE THAT THE LIBRARY WOULD REMAIN INTACT AND CONTINUE TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF ALMA AND THE SURROUNDING AREA.
