The Haywood County Schools Foundation awarded 88 Pisgah, Tuscola, Haywood Early College, and Central Haywood high school seniors with 119 scholarships totaling $229,050 last week. Scholarship amounts ranged from $500 to $40,000.

Typically, students are surprised at school with the news, but this year student were notified via e-mail.

“Our students have gone through so much over the past year and a half, and I’m so happy we are able to reward these hard-working students with scholarships,” Jenny Wood, Haywood County Schools Foundation executive director, said. “Virtual school was an adjustment for them, but students stepped up and continued to excel in their academics.”

Currently, the Foundation manages more than 60 scholarships. Scholarships may be endowed or funded annually. Criteria for awarding the scholarship are designed by the donors and the Foundation Board of Directors. Endowed scholarships are generated through the investment of permanently-held principals, so that only the income from the principal is used for scholarship awards.
