IRS990/Desc0The foundation administers three endowment funds whose accrued revenue is specifically targeted to yearly graduating seniors from the Castor High School and Saline High School(see Sch. 1 part IV). These funds were established by former students, teachers, friends, and supporters of the schools and communities they represent. Graduating seniors from Castor High School may apply for a $2000 (2 year) or for a $5000 (4 year) scholarship. The $2000 award is restricted to students planning to major in Education (preferably elementary). The $5000 scholarship is not restrictedand is open to any who qualify. The Saline High School endowment was established by a now deceased former teacher and resident of that community for $4000 (4 year) scholarship and has similar criteria for application and retention as do the Castor Scholarships. Unlike the two prior scholarships mentioned, however, the Saline award is made to as many students as can be funded by the endowments yearly generated revenue.
