(Atlantic) The Atlantic Senior Alumni Scholarship Foundation (SASF) recently held their annual meeting and welcomed new members Melanie Petty and Steve Wallingford. The SASF was created by Atlantic alumni with the goal of providing need-based scholarships to graduating seniors of AHS.
Funding for the foundation is provided by donations from Atlantic alumni. Generous donations from individuals and previous classes have allowed the foundation to grow. The first $500 scholarship was given out in 2003, and this year is being expanded again to reach as many students as possible. The SASF will award five, $2,000 scholarships to the Class of 2024. Students must have a GPA of 2.5 and higher to qualify. Applications are online at the Atlantic High School website and are due April 8th of this year. Students are encouraged to apply and contact Gina Honke for more information.
Alumni, or friends of the Atlantic High School, who would like more information on donating to the 501c3 foundation are encouraged to visit the website at atlanticsasf.org or visit the Atlantic High School Senior Alumni Foundation Facebook page.
