Realizing their ambition to provide scholarships to a greater percentage of applicants since 2003, the Queen Anne High School Alumni Association Board awarded scholarships for the sixth year to 30 of this year's applicants.

The program has been increasingly beneficial over the years, growing from one scholarship in 1983 to 2007's 30. Below we present information about donating as well information about eligibility and application. All help in growing the scholarship program is greatly appreciated not only by the recipients but by the industrious alumni who are striving to keep alive the Queen Anne High name and spirit. According to Education Committee Chairman Kerry McMahon, '54, this year's record number of scholarships was due to "...the exceptional generosity of classes, reunion groups, individual scholarship donations, and the collective donations of many Queen Anne alumni."

The full list of this year's scholarship winners and their QA antecedents follows. If you see any errors or know of other QAHS antecedents for these scholars, please let us know. The August, 2007 edition of The KUAY presented a little bit more information about the winners. You can read that issue on this Web site here if you have Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer.

The QAHSAA scholarship program has been the primary public expression of our Association’s legacy since its founding in 1981. The scholarship funds come from the donations of our Grizzly alumni, either individually or through their reunion committees, and from sales of QAHS memorabilia. All donations are tax deductible.

Donations for scholarships may be made for specific scholarships, whole or partial, or for the growth of our Scholarship Endowment Fund, which helps provide for our perpetual Grizzly Scholarship Program. A single scholarship costs $500.00. Please make your scholarship donations, earmarked Scholarship Fund, to the Queen Anne High School Alumni Association, PO Box, 9128, Seattle, WA, 98109-0128.
