Welcome to the

Spokane Scholars Foundation

The Spokane Scholars Foundation is a volunteer-driven organization dedicated to honoring and encouraging academic excellence among high school seniors across the Greater Spokane area. Through the support of our donors, we celebrate the transformative power of education and lifelong learning in an annual banquet that recognizes outstanding academic achievements that inspire pride in our community.

Notes From Prior Scholars

  • “Being selected as a Spokane Scholar made me feel supported and encouraged. I still remain proud to say that I am from Spokane in part because of the strong sense of community fostered by recognitions like Spokane Scholars Foundation.”

    -Scholar, Valley Christian School

  • “It is a very prestigious award in the Spokane community and made my parents and teachers (as well as myself!) very proud. It is such a wonderful blessing to be affirmed in the talents that others see in me even when I don’t always recognize those talents in myself. Thank you, Spokane Scholars, for being that kind of blessing to me.”

    -Scholar, Freeman High School

  • ”The honor of being a Spokane Scholar was unlike any I had received before. We were united in celebrating the top students from each category. This award and honor has given me a feeling of closure; that I have completed this chapter of my life. The recognition, celebration, and praise I have received from our community is something completely foreign to me. I am beyond grateful for the validation of my academic career. I know that I will someday look back upon this honor with a special fervor."
