Fundraisers are held throughout the year including an annual online auction, which raised over $4,000 in the fall. The sale of Algonquin Regional High School graduation yard signs raises additional funds.
Community members who wish to support the students can do so online, by mail, or by adding any amount to their tax bill payments to benefit the scholarship fund. A new Tribute Donation platform is also now available, which offers the opportunity for the community to make a donation in “honor of” or “in memory” of someone.
Additional information on the Scholarship Committee can be found on the town website.
