These Scholarships Will Be Announced
The Golden Beaver Scholarships
The Golden Beaver Scholarship Program is meant to stimulate, within the Ballard student body, the desire to achieve goals that prepare them for advanced education and/or training upon graduation.
John "Jack" Lawson Memorial Scholarship
In memory of Ballard High School Golden Beaver Past President and Scholarship Chair Jack Lawson. Jack was a very strong advocate for Golden Beaver Scholarships and worked tirelessly to benefit as many graduating seniors as possible.
McMuldroch-Lathrop Family Scholarships
Parents Chris McMuldroch and Jennifer Lathrop honor their connection to Ballard High School through this generous gift. Chris served as a Robotics Team mentor for more than 10 years (longer than the couple's children attended Ballard High School) and also benefitted as a scholarship recipient, himself, when he graduated from high school.
The Jonathan Shoop Scholarship
To remember Jonathan Shoop, a Ballard High School 2006 graduate, who was slain as a Bothell Police Officer. Students who play a musical instrument, specifically a trumpet, strongly considered for this honor.
The Ballard 19 Scholarship
To remember the 19 men from Ballard High School who died serving in Vietnam. The memoir was written by our own Jerry Smith.
The Daniel Chavez Scholarship
In honor of 2003 Ballard High School graduate Daniel Chavez. Lance Corporal Chavez was a hero at the time of his death, and only his Company knew until the Marine Corps honored him for his heroism three months later. Jerry Smith also penned his story.
Nancy Hughbanks and Doug Scheumann Scholarships
Recognize exceptional GAINS graduating seniors. Graduation Assistance Impacting the Needs of Students (GAINS) is a partnership between Ballard High School and the Ballard High School Foundation. The program aims to help students who are most at risk by providing the support they need to graduate on time and prepare for success afterward.
