Rhinelander High School seniors receive scholarships totaling $329,270
The Rhinelander Area Scholarship Foundation was established in 1991. The volunteer board facilitates hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships to graduating Rhinelander High School seniors annually, the release states. It is a 501c3, non-profit charitable organization with a volunteer board.
The scholarship money is provided from both the Rhinelander Area Scholarship Foundation itself and the generous giving of 100 local donors.
RASF hopes to help students with great academic potential and students with financial challenges achieve their learning goals after high school.
RASF manages a portfolio of more than a million dollars to give to graduating seniors. Local family memorials, class reunions and businesses have generously contributed to help send students to school after graduation, some helping finance full ride scholarships. Since 1991, RASF has provided an additional $309,250 to 364 graduating seniors, many of whom may not get scholarship support from other sources. Fundraising is the primary source for these additional funds.
If you have an interest in establishing a scholarship or would like more information, call the Rhinelander High School Student Services office at 715-365-9517.
