Saxon Success Fund Scholarships and

Kathleen Hanneman Scholarship Application Process

​

The Saxon Success Fund is a nonprofit organization made up of alumni and SSHS supporters wishing to transform South from a great Oregon high school through strategic investment. We raise funds for specific projects that have the greatest impact on the success of all Saxon students. Providing scholarships each year is one way we fulfill our  mission.

​

Applications being accepted for the 2022-23 school year 

 

We grant multiple scholarships each year, based on a percentage of our own funds. We are also pleased to add additional scholarships sponsored by the SSHS Class of 1970 for the first time this year. The Class of 1970 is sponsoring one or more of the SSF Scholarships. We also are continuing our partnership with the Class of 1960. The application for this scholarship can be accessed through the SSHS College and Career Center -- scroll down to South-Only Scholarships.

 

This is the third year we are awarding the Kathleen Hanneman Scholarship which will go to a Class of '23 girl who plans to work toward a career in Education. Students who do not have this career goal will not be considered. Separate application forms may be found below. Students who are eligible for the Hanneman scholarship may also apply for the SSF scholarships.

 

Completed applications for both scholarships are due by April 24, 2023. It is essential that you include all of the requirements requested below. You will need to be logged into your SSHS Gmail account in order to submit.

 

Your completed submission will include: 

 

1. Completed application form (Google form linked below)

2. Your personal essay

3. Two letters of support

4. A copy of your high school academic transcript (unofficial transcripts provided through the College and Career Center are fine)

 

All of the above components will be linked within the Google form. Submissions will be scored based on the content you provide. This is not a scholarship based solely on academics or financial need, rather we look at all of the components you’ve provided to learn what makes you and your circumstances unique. We hope to award scholarships to students who wish to pursue technical certifications, two-year programs, and four-year degrees. Scoring takes into account your community service, school activities, personal essay, financial need, high school course load and GPA. 

 

Two Letters of Support - Letters written will describe the student’s dedication, skill,

leadership, work ethic, and family/community involvement. The letters may be written by any adult in your life, (e.g., high school teachers, employers, clergy, community service supervisors, coaches, advisors, counselors).

Personal essay - Explain how this scholarship will help you achieve your goals and provide details to illustrate. Be sure to include any life experiences you have overcome in your path to furthering your education.
