Scholarships

Scholarship Committee

To oversee the award of the scholarships.

Members: Shelva Givens (Chair), Verl Slutz, Becky Hutmacher

Since it’s reorganization in 2004, SVAA has focused on awarding scholarships to graduating seniors to further their education.

Over $43,000 has been awarded in scholarships through:

(1) Golden Alumni and Class Reunion Scholarships

(2) SVAA Scholarships, and

(3) Named Scholarships

Golden Alumni Scholarships are awarded from fundraising efforts conducted by the class celebrating their golden anniversary for that year.

Through the generosity of those celebrating their 50th class reunion, we have also significantly grown our endowment fund.

Other classes can follow the Golden Alumni and fundraise to award a scholarship to recognize any milestone.

Scholarships can also be created in honor or memory of someone/something.

*Thank you to a Class of 1962 member who recently sponsored an anonymous scholarship.

If you are interested in establishing a named scholarship, please contact Janine (Herstine) Garber (SV Class of 1988) at (330) 904-8852.

Annual Scholarship Dinner

Dinner is the primary method of fundraising for SVAA Scholarships. It is normally held on the first Saturday in May at the Sandy Valley High School. This event is open to all alumni, staff, and friends of Sandy Valley Local Schools.

Social hour begins at 6:00 pm. Dinner will be served at 7:00 pm. The evening will feature a silent auction and 50/50 drawing. The evening’s program will also recognize the Classes of 1964 and 1989 (celebrating their 50th and 25th year reunions, respectively).
