The Juneau Community Foundation is pleased to announce the establishment of a new scholarship fund for Skagway students, the Hather Family Scholarship Fund.
Betty Hather and her husband Don’s collective ambition has been to support youth in the community they loved. To that end, when Don passed in 2011, Betty created a
scholarship for Skagway graduates in honor of her husband. Upon Betty’s passing, in 2022, the scholarship was moved to the Juneau Community
Foundation so that this scholarship will continue to enrich the lives of others – a passion of theirs, which they were well known for.
The application period for the Hather Family Scholarship is now open. The scholarship is open to graduates from Skagway High School to pursue higher
education at a university, college, or vocational school. All 2024 graduating seniors and any past graduates from Skagway High School are welcome to apply.
Selection will be based on your application, personal essay, and letter of recommendation. Up to $10,000 will be awarded in 2024. The scholarship may be used for tuition
or to enable the purchase of necessary books, academic supplies, tools, equipment, or uniforms. The scholarship will be sent to the institution the awardee will be attending.
The deadline to apply is Monday, April 22, 2024, by 5:00 p.m.
