Siuslaw Alumni Association
Scholarships
Funding for the scholarships is obtained from donations and the raffle proceeds at the annual reunion. Students who plan to attend a two- or four-year college or a trade school may apply for the scholarship by filling out the application form available through Siuslaw High School. Students must also write a short essay and be interviewed by the SAA scholarship committee. They can re-apply during their time in college. Students and their proud parents are invited to the scholarship fundraiser and reunion banquet in September to be recognized for their achievements.
