Nearly a mil’ doled out to grads at Scholarship Night
JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — The Teton County Scholarship Program announced its 2022 winners at Scholarship Night on April 26. This year, 144 students from across Teton County applied for 66 scholarships sponsored by generous local donors. Over $900,000 was awarded to Teton County high school seniors.
Dr. Gillian Chapman, Superintendent of Teton County School District #1, said, “I continue to be amazed and inspired by the generosity of our community, thank you doesn’t seem quite adequate. The support of local donors help students transition into their new and exciting post-secondary worlds knowing that we are all supporting them each step of the way. These scholarships make a difference for our students being able to dream big, and we look forward to seeing where they will go.”
TCSP is administered by the Fund for Public Education and the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, in partnership with TCSD#1. It is open to all graduating high school seniors in Teton County, including home-schooled students.
Local donors came together to provide funding for 255 individual TCSP awards. The awards celebrate student achievements ranging from academics to athletics to community service to resilience in the face of adversity.
“The Community Foundation of Jackson Hole is so grateful for this effective and important partnership and is committed to the bright futures of the graduates of the Class of 2022. We believe in the power of support at the right time,” said Laurie Andrews, president of the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole. “We applaud all that these seniors have accomplished over the past four years and wish them the best as they spread their wings.”
