Who We Are
In 1989, a group of school and community volunteers created the Princeton Scholarship Foundation. The purpose of the foundation was to establish a base to provide financial support for students beyond their high school education. The project was in its early stages when, for a variety of reason, the committee discontinued it activity for a time. Several thousand dollars had been raised and was held in the appropriate account for the organization.
In 1995, the Foundation was revived by community members and a $21,209 donation from the 1995 All-Class Reunion. The Princeton Scholarship Foundation became affiliated with the national Dollars for Scholars organization and with their support, the Foundation was re-established.
Through fund raising and the establishment of endowed scholarships, Princeton Scholarship Foundation has continued to grow. Forty-five scholarships amounting to $20,000 from the Foundation and 13 scholarships amounting to $8,000 from our endowed scholarships were presented at the awards night on May 16, 2012.
Our Mission
The mission of the Princeton Scholarship Foundation is to offer scholarship opportunities to Princeton High School graduating seniors who demonstrate the desire and academic ability to succeed in pursuing a post-secondary education.
Our Goal
Our goal is to provide scholarship assistance for as many Princeton High School students as possible who plan to attend an accredited four-year college, community college or vocational institution.

Helping to Achieve Goals-- I was honored to have been chosen as a recipient of a scholarship from Princeton Scholarship Foundation Dollars for Scholars. Not only was I thrilled to learn of my selection, but I am overly appreciative of your support. Due to your generous support, I will be able to work towards my goals more confidently with this investment in my future! I am pursuing my undergraduate degree in Nursing and I plan to continue gaining further education within the Pediatrics field to then move to a position as a Registered Nurse in a NICU. I will be thankful for years to come. Princeton Scholarship Foundation has provided me support and assistance to which I promise to do my best academically and career wise to assist children, families and future students like myself. --Gina Kobylinski - Class of 2021 |
