Submitted by Assistance League of Bellingham
Spring turns many students’ thoughts to Summer and all its opportunities. An enriching and unique opportunity for learning and discovery that could be life changing is offered by Assistance League of Bellingham.
Every student’s path is different. Our Enrichment Scholarship Program supports Whatcom County public middle and high school students with merit-based scholarships for engaging, enriching summer experiences in music, science, technology, art, leadership and college prep courses.
Every public middle school and high school in Whatcom County is guaranteed that at least one student who completes an application and qualifies will receive a scholarship.
As in all areas, the current economy reflects increased costs for summer programs. However, through our customers’ support at our Thrift & Gift Shop (where every dollar earned is directed into our philanthropic programs) together with other fundraising efforts, we are pleased to be able to help offset that increase. This year we awarded approximately $79,000 in Summer Enrichment Scholarships to 113 Whatcom County students.
These experiences provide an environment to interact with and learn from instructors and classmates from a wide range of backgrounds to promote dialogue, foster independence and acceptance. This is positively supported by previous recipients who participated in debate camp, ground school and in-flight training, business week seminar, summer dance intensive and summer music camp.
Assistance League of Bellingham appreciates your financial support to remain a valuable resource for future Whatcom County students.
