Submitted by Assistance League of Bellingham
One of the highlights of the school counselor’s day in Whatcom County middle schools and high schools is the announcement of Assistance League of Bellingham’s Enrichment Scholarship Program. We thank all the school counselors for coordinating this program in your respective schools. Students in grades 6 through 11 are invited to apply — the scholarships are competitive and based on merit.
The summer programs offer the students a personal growth opportunity for the development of curiosity, creativity, strengthening collaborative skills and adaptability by exposing them to new areas of interest. Chosen programs such as Debate, Chamber Days, Coding in Java (University of Washington), Music Camp in Vermont, Sports Medicine and Squalicum Musical Theater are but a few examples that will enrich the lives of our students.
Assistance League of Bellingham’s $47,900 investment in 2022, through the Enrichment Scholarship Program, is our investment in the preparation of the future holistic education for our students.
We are honored to announce the distribution of scholarships for 2022 as follows: 39 high school students at $900 each and 32 middle school students at $400 each. We live in a world of constant change. The 71 students who will participate in their chosen programs this year will be given the tools to help shape a better world. It is a gift we will all reap the benefits of.
We thank each Thrift & Gift Shop customer for each purchase and for each donation as you have made it possible for us to offer this program to the students in Whatcom County. Again, all monies received by us stay in Whatcom County.
