ABOUT THE LIMA SHAWNEE SCHOLARSHIPÂ FUND
The Lima Shawnee Scholarship Fund provides a way for 100 years of Shawnee classmates to join with others to celebrate SHS and build a legacy of support for future graduates. Contributions may be made to the scholarship fund in any amount and may be made to honor the special people at Shawnee who contributed toward their success, or simply as a way to honor the many generations of family members who have attended Shawnee across the decades. Those special designations are listed in the HONOR ROLL section of this website.
​
Two types of scholarships are awarded - Legacy Scholarships and Named Scholarships. Grants recognize achievement in all areas: Arts & Humanities; Business/Vocational; Education; Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), and by achievement in school activities. Named Scholarships are named after individual donors, their families, or in honor of an individual who was particularly meaningful to the donor. Awards from Named Scholarships are based upon the requirements determined by the donor, subject to review and approval by the Scholarship Committee and are available with a minimum contribution of, or pledges totaling, $50,000.
Scholarships were first awarded in the Spring of 2022. Recipients are selected by a volunteer committee composed of representatives from Shawnee Local Schools, Board members, and select members of the community.
All contributions to the Lima Shawnee Scholarship Fund are tax-deductible.
Contributions can be made by check, by credit card or by transferring securities directly to the Lima Shawnee Scholarship Fund.
