The Centralia Foundation administers scholarship funds provided
by individuals. A Scholarship committee oversees that the wishes
and guidelines of the benefactor are fulfilled. Selection committees
insure that the criteria are met to award scholarships to appropriate
recipients.
Currently the Centralia Foundation oversees
eight scholarship funds valued at over two million dollars. In
recent years over
$100,000 has been distributed among 62 recipients annually.
It is the generosity of these benefactors that enable students
from this area to achieve their goal of higher learning. With advanced
