Raising scholarship funds
The College of the Siskiyous Foundation invites all Siskiyou County residents to its annual Scholarship Fund Raising Dinner on Saturday, April 5, beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the Sons of Italy Hall, 155 Clay Street in Weed.
Tickets are $20.
This evening opens with a Mardi Gras dinner catered by Lilys Restaurant and desserts prepared by local residents that will be auctioned by Mount Shasta’s Roger Emerson.
The highlight of the evening is the auctioning of the Coat of Many Colors, with a tradition of a local individual being selected to wear the coat publicly to meetings and events. The tradition has been on-going since the 1980s.
All proceeds from the Scholarship Dinner are dedicated to the Siskiyou Scholar Program Fund for an annual $3,000 scholarship designed to pay all tuition fees, textbooks and material costs, and transportation. The two-year scholarship is renewable for the second year. Upon graduation the student will be recognized at the annual commencement exercises as a Siskiyous Scholar.
For the past 24 years, the Scholarship Dinner has successfully raised funds for Siskiyou County students and has provided Siskiyou County students with thousands of dollars in scholarships ranging from $250 to $3,000.
The COS Scholarships are now available to all students planning to enroll for the fall of 2008 and continuing students.
Students interested in applying may download a scholarship from online at www.siskiyous.edu/pio.
