WHAT WE DO

We have been serving Kelso students since 1991

In that time, the organization has given over a million dollars in student scholarships and grants to fund programs and activities in Kelso Public Schools.  This past year alone the Foundation provided over $160,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors and more than $16,000 in grants to fund programs at schools throughout the district.

The foundation now staffs an office at Kelso High School. Help from the foundation is available throughout the school year to assist  students, staff, and interested Hilanders with the process of applying for scholarships and grants, volunteering, donating or creating a scholarship.
