Each year, SJICF awards hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships, helping to expand access to education and strengthen the future workforce of San Juan Island and surrounding communities. Since the inception of its scholarship program, nearly $3 million has been awarded to local students.
“Investing in people is one of the most meaningful ways we can support the long-term vitality of our community,” said Amy Saxe-Eyler, CEO of SJICF. “Supporting educational opportunities for all islanders has been a priority for SJICF since the beginning. We encourage all eligible residents to take advantage of this opportunity, whether they are a graduating senior or an adult learner interested in a new career path or degree program.”
