SF T&H CC Scholarship
Each year the scholarship committee accepts new and returning applicants. Completed applications must be received by June 1, 2010. If you are interested request an application for the 2010-2011 school year, contact the scholarship chairperson:
Margaret Wolley
(925) 371-1968

To be eligible for a scholarship, you must be enrolled with Tlingit/Haida Central Council and registered with San Francisco Community Council.
You must be attending a university, college or trade school. If you are a high school student, you may also apply for scholarship. High school students must successfully complete high school, and be enrolled in a college or trade school before being given the money. Until then, the money sits in an account. You may apply all four years of high school, which could potentially add up! (Interest earned will go back into the scholarship fund) For any interested scholarship applicants, here is a list of what needs to be collected while you request an official application form:
1. Transcripts of all studies taken beyond high school.
2. Official high school transcripts IF you have not completed at least one full year of study beyond the high school level.
3. A letter of recommendation from a faculty Counselor.
4. A letter of recommendation from an employer or professional
Associate. If you have not had significant professional employment, the letter may be from a clan leader, a community leader, or Clergyperson with whom you are personally acquainted.
5. A short essay on your goals and ambitions--tell us about you!

DONATIONS FOR OUR SCHOLARSHIP FUND GLADLY ACCEPTED.
San Francisco Tlingit and Haida Community Council is a non-profit organization under the Central Council Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska (CCTHITA) in Juneau, Alaska. We are very active in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our main goals are to raise funds for our College and Trade School Scholarships that we give out once a year to our San Francisco registered Tlingit & Haida students. We also provide Cultural Celebrations bi-annually for our members to learn about our heritage, culture, dance and songs. This year we will be holding our Cultural Celebration in Oakland, California which is our largest fundraiser for scholarship. Please look at our mid-summer newsletters for more information. If you would like to donate to our Scholarship Fund, please contact our Treasurer, Jackie Clark at email: declark02@earthlink.net.
