The Steilacoom Historical Education Foundation or SHEF is proud to announce the awarding of 32 scholarships to 32 outstanding Steilacoom High School graduates this past week.
SHEF is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1993 and since that time has awarded over $540,000 in scholarships to Steilacoom High School graduates. Last year we celebrated our 30-year anniversary of rewarding excellent students. This year SHEF has awarded $46,200 in scholarships!
Scholarships were awarded for academic achievement, leadership, and volunteering in the community during the student’s time at high school.
Students must meet various criteria, which might include grades, extracurricular activities and financial need to apply and then attend a Zoom interview with Board members to be considered. SHEF scholarships are donated by local individuals, families, businesses, and civic organizations.
SHEF would like to thank the generous donors; Steilacoom Kiwanis, the CPT Ronald M. Allen(RET) Family, Mike and Robbie Courts, the Jerry Black Family, Linda and Gerry Evanson, the Mim Billman Family, the Teri Litt Family, Terry & Mary Huber, DuPont Lions, Optimism in Action, Steilacoom Education Association, DuPont Historical Society, the Reese Widman Family, Dave Langford (Promise Scholarship), Jamie Garrett, the Godfrey L. & Mary Bair Family, Dave Sellers, the John Anderson Family, the Art Himmler family, the Genova Brown Family, Andrea Enfield and Robin Barrow.
This year, 2025, we were not able to award a scholarship to every worthy student who applied. If you, your family, your organization or business are interested in sponsoring a scholarship please feel free to contact us at [email protected]. We also accept donations in any amount to our general SHEF scholarship fund at www.shefonline.com.
Many congratulations to all these wonderful students! All of us on the SHEF Board as well as the donors and our entire communities of Steilacoom and Dupont are proud of you and look forward to your continued success!
