The purpose of the St. Joseph Public Schools Foundation is to raise, steward and distribute resources to enrich the education of students in the St. Joseph Public Schools District.

The SJPS Foundation Board of Directors is pleased to announce its 2022 Foundation Scholarship Recipients. Each student has been awarded a $5,000 college scholarship to be used for tuition, fees, books and on-campus housing. Chaired by a Foundation Board member, each scholarship committee is composed of three community members who review each application and determine applicants to interview. Selection is a difficult task as each candidate has strengths and worthy attributes. A reception was held recently at the high school for scholarship benefactors, students and their families. 

Sam Abdelnour, President of the SJPS Foundation commented, “our scholarship program has grown to $55,000 for each graduating class of St. Joseph High School. Awards are funded by individual donors who care deeply about SJPS students and their futures.” Abdelnour also pointed out that in addition to its scholarship offerings, the Foundation raises funds to enrich the education of students in the St. Joseph Public Schools district. In 2021, the Foundation awarded over $500,000 to the district in support of academic initiatives.
