How to donate to a scholarship

The QAHSAA scholarship program has been the primary public expression of our Association’s legacy since its founding in 1981. The scholarship funds come from the donations of our Grizzly alumni, either individually or through their reunion committees, and from sales of QAHS memorabilia. All donations are tax deductible.

Donations for scholarships may be made for specific scholarships, whole or partial, or for the growth of our Scholarship Endowment Fund, which helps provide for our perpetual Grizzly Scholarship Program. A single scholarship costs $1000.00. We need your help in continuing this necessary and thoughtful program.
