Roundhouse Foundation Enrichment Scholarship
Application
The Roundhouse Foundation was established with a mission to encourage community enrichment and economic development through the arts in Central Oregon. For this reason, The Roundhouse Foundation is offering scholarships to be distributed to SHS students for enriching experiences from September 1st through August 31st.
Sisters GRO manages this scholarship and oversees the application, recipient selection, and disbursement process. The Roundhouse Foundation Enrichment Experience Applications are accepted through the school year but must be received no later than 30 days prior to the experience activity, allowing time for processing and consideration. Summer experiences are encouraged, but applications for these activities must be submitted no later than June 1. For activities involving five (5) or more people (for example an event or trip), the event/trip organizer or coordinator, in conjunction with Sisters GRO, is responsible for determining a cutoff deadline for acceptance of Roundhouse scholarship applications. This deadline must be a minimum of thirty (30) days prior to disbursement of funds. No incomplete or late applications will be considered. A selection committee of SHS staff, Sisters GRO Board members and Sisters Community Leaders will determine recipients and scholarship award amounts.
