As the end of the school year approaches, please consider paying tribute to faculty or staff members and/or graduates by making a contribution in their honor to the SHS PTA Scholarship Fund for College. What better way to express your thanks while contributing to an important cause that will help Scarsdale graduates continue their education?
This year let's celebrate our graduates from 5th, 8th and SHS Seniors as they each embark on their new journeys in education by honoring them and helping someone else get the gift of education through our scholarship fund.
OPTION 1 - Customized e-Letters: The Scholarship Fund will send customized e-letters directly to educators or graduates you wish to honor. You provide the name and email address, and the Scholarship Fund sends the customized message via email.
Customized e-Letters are $24 for one or $20 each for 3 or more and are tax-deductible. If you would like to donate a larger amount on behalf of an honoree, please email
SHS PTA Scholarship.
Dear [Honoree],
It is my pleasure to inform you that a donation has been made in your honor to the Scarsdale High School PTA Scholarship Fund for College by [Donor].
All donations to the Scholarship Fund directly aid Scarsdale's graduating high school seniors who need financial assistance for college. We know from feedback we have received over the years that these freshman year grants have changed people's lives.
We are fortunate in this community to have people who understand that there are students here who need assistance to attend college. As you may know, this “Gift of Education” will have a very real impact on the lives of Scarsdale's high school seniors who will receive tuition grants for college.
The Scarsdale High School PTA Scholarship Fund Grant Committee thanks [Donor] for donating, and we thank you as well for inspiring them to do so.
Sincerely,
Beth Cukier
SHS PTA Scholarship Fund for College
