The Finnish American Heritage
Society Scholarship Fund was started in November,
2000. Since then, we have awarded
thirty-eight scholarships to students who are
motivated to perpetuate the mission of FAHS.
The primary purpose of the Scholarship is to
perpetuate Finnish-American heritage through
support of relevant educational initiatives.
These can be related to, but not limited to,
music, the arts, health, education, the
environment, and architecture or
engineering. The Scholarship Committee does not discriminate based on age, gender, ethnicity, nationality, belief, or any other conditions. Scholarships will continue to be awarded annually. We greatly appreciate ongoing donations to this important fund, to ensure it will continue “in perpetuity.” Our current endowment balance is over $20,000. The committee invites candidates to apply, with the deadline of June 30, 2022. The awards are pre-sented in the fall. Members and their families are eligible. Anyone who has been awarded a scholarship is asked to wait at least a year before re-applying, to give others a turn. We now have three awards: The General Scholarship, the Korsu Athletic Scholarship, and the Karla Tate Creative Scholarship. The procedure for application is on this form. If you have questions, please call Ann Gruenberg, Chair, Scholarship Committee at 860-455-1211. |
