Thompson- Patch Scholarship Fund, Salem, Oregon
The Nellie Thompson-Dorothy Patch Scholarship Fund was established to provide scholarships to graduating high school students from the Salem-Keizer School District and Chemawa Indian School who identify as Native American, Latinx, Black, Asian, Pacific Islander, or otherwise as a person of color.
Students that show promise over the last years of school are favored for these scholarships. We look for students that have “turned their lives around” and show promise. This Fund can help a few of these promising youth who find it difficult to obtain education and training beyond high school.
In awarding the scholarships, the selection committee will be particularly interested in improvement in academic performance, extracurricular activities, and future academic and career goals. Grade point average will be considered but is NOT a major factor in our decision to award a scholarship.
From year to year, the awards range in number and amount based on the assets of the scholarship fund, and the student needs as identified by the all volunteer Board. The Fund provides scholarship monies to the institution or trade school of the student’s choice for costs directly associated with their continuing education. Scholarships typically range from $500 to $1,500.
There is a financial incentive when you donate to an IRS-qualified 501(c)(3) public charity, as you are able to take an income tax charitable deduction. Donating to nonprofit organizations is a great way to give back to the community while also supporting great causes you believe in. The Federal Tax Status of the Thompson- Patch Scholarship Fund is: 501(c)(3)
Federal EIN: 26-0268284
