Besides creating a national health emergency, COVID-19 has taken a toll on the local and national economy. The financial effects of the pandemic have resulted in a greater than ever need for the communities that we serve.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have canceled our upcoming national and local fundraising events in the coming months. These events provide funding for scholarships and other educational and community programs that we provide throughout the year.
Each year up to 4 students receive SHSAA scholarships for $6,000 and $2,000 to help defray the cost of their post-secondary education. For the last 47 years, the SHSAA has helped more than 200 students pay for college. This legacy and the students’ dreams of a college education must not be washed away by such turbulent times. We will persevere together with our members and generous individuals, like you, who make our work possible and believe so strongly in our mission.
