The Foundation will award scholarships valued at a total of
$142,875 this year bringing the number of scholarships awarded
since 1984 to 1,210 having a total value of $1,408,195. The
foundation manages 52 endowments and is operated in a community
partnership of the Rotary clubs of Northshore and Woodinville and
the Kiwanis Club of Northshore. Its asset base of $1.2 million
generates dollars for the annual scholarships.
The service clubs also sponsor scholarships for students at
the University of Washington Bothell and Cascadia Community
College.
This year marks the first selection of the Lee and Velma
Blakely memorial scholarship named for the former Northshore
school superintendent and his wife of 64 years. Two new endowments
are to be announced at the breakfast, one in memory of immediate
past school superintendent Dr. Karen Forys and the second to be
established by Woodinville Rotary Club in support of agriculture
education.
The first scholarships from the new endowments will be
awarded in 2009. Two Forys grants will be offered, one for a
teacher, one for a high school graduate with the emphasis on
education and performing arts as the fields of study. The new
Rotary endowment will be for students seeking an educational
experience involving programs of Woodinville’s 21 Acres, an
organization dedicated to the preservation and growth of the
agricultural heritage of the Sammamish Valley.
