What is The Scholarship Foundation?In response to the school’s decision to change its name, we have changed our name from the Drake Scholarship Foundation to The Scholarship Foundation at Archie Williams High School.
The goal of the Scholarship Foundation is to recognize Archie Williams High School seniors for their outstanding achievement in high school and assist them financially with the continuation of their education. Each year the Scholarship Foundation awards twenty $3,000 scholarships in honor of or in memory of people from the AWHS community. Funds are raised each year from investments, direct appeal and fundraisers. We invite the AWHS community to contribute to these scholarships. |

Meet 20-year-old Archie Williams alumna, Emma Burke. After applying to the scholarship foundation with information about her extracurricular activities, academic achievements and career goals, Emma was thrilled to receive a scholarship to assist with her tuition at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her original plan was to study biology and do genetic research or plant science. Once at UCSB, Emma felt the urgency of mitigating the climate crisis and decided to switch majors. Now in her third year of school, she has worked at a variety of environmental internships and is currently planning to volunteer at a non-profit urban farm in Santa Barbara.
