Sherman Higher Education Fund
Dear Neighbors and Friends,
Since our inception in 1960, THE SHERMAN HIGHER EDUCATION FUND (SHEF) has helped Sherman students achieve their higher education goals by awarding grants, loans, and scholarships. In 2021, we gave more than $17,000 to Sherman students to help further their education. This was possible by the ongoing community support of thoughtful Sherman residents like you who generously answer our once-a-year call for donations. We thank you!
HOW WE SUPPORT OUR SHERMAN STUDENTS:
