Each year since 1974, the Seattle Schools Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to graduating seniors of Seattle Public Schools and in recognition of students who have overcome significant life challenges to achieve their dreams.
The scholarships are in the amount of $2,000 and are awarded to students each year for tuition expenses at any college or university or vocational training of the student's choice.
The scholarship is funded largely from an annual contribution from the Seattle School Retirees Association, as well as generous donations from community members.
The 2017 ceremony will honor former Franklin High School teacher and longtime fund trustee Phil Konkel who passed away last year. His passion and tireless efforts dedicated to the success of the students of Seattle and the Scholarship Fund will be greatly missed. His legacy lives on through a generous bequest to the Fund of nearly $200,000.
