What is The Scholarship Foundation?

The Scholarship Foundation recognizes Archie Williams High School seniors for their outstanding achievement in high school and assists them financially with the continuation of their education.
​
​Each year the Scholarship Foundation awards twenty-one $3,500 scholarships in honor of or in memory of people from the AWHS community. Funds are raised from endowment income and donations from individuals in our community, with many supporters choosing to honor current or past AWHS students, faculty or administrators with their gifts. We are grateful for our community's generosity.

Community Spotlight: Announcing New Scholarships!

We are thrilled to announce the addition of two new scholarships to be awarded for the first time in 2024! Two wonderful Archie Williams (and Drake before) families have generously endowed these new scholarships, each honoring academic pursuits and philosophies that have enhanced their own life journeys.

Environmental and Social Justice Scholarship
​Sue Fox and Steve Bluestone were pioneers of the SEA-DISC Academy. Their ground-breaking curriculum focused on classwork and immersing students in real world environmental and social justice issues. This curriculum has inspired generations of students to be change makers and stewards of the environment. Nicole and Tess Anacker are graduates of the SEA-DISC Academy; their learnings shaped their academic and professional future in sustainability. The Anacker Family Foundation is proud to honor the SEA-DISC Academy, Sue Fox and Steve Bluestone, and those who have a passion for shaping a better world through excellence in sustainability, environmental and social justice.

Sarkisian Arts and Engineering Scholarship
The Sarkisian Foundation was established to support students pursuing higher education in the arts and engineering. As a family made up of educators, working artists and a structural engineer who combines visual arts and engineering in his practice, the family has seen firsthand the power of combining art, design and technical knowledge in their work and life. The Sarkisians have all been educated in the arts and hope to encourage scholarship recipients to do the same and to explore their fields of study with a commitment to creativity and excellence.  

We thank the Anacker Family Foundation and the Sarkisian Foundation for their vision and generosity, which will alleviate some of the burden of paying college tuition for two deserving students each year.
