“Attachment to Form 990 (2024)In 2024 the Kit Faragher Foundation awarded FOUR SCHOLARSHIPS. Three scholarships were awarded to graduating Colorado high school seniors, one of which had to be awarded to a graduating senior from a Montrose County, CO high school. The Kit Faragher Foundation also awarded one scholarship to a graduating high school senior from Geauga County, Ohio. The applicants are all attending an accredited two or four-year college or university. The four scholarships for the 2024-2025 school year were an award of $10,000.00 each, to be paid over the students first two years of their programs. The requirements to qualify for the scholarship were as follows:Applicant must have a minimum high school GPA of 2.5Applicant must demonstrate a financial need for assistance.Applicant must submit an application, official high school transcript, and a written essay, which captures their sense of personality and achievements, while describing their short and long-term goals.Notice that the new scholarship application had been uploaded to the foundations website (www.kitfaragherfoundation.org) was mailed in January, 2024 to the scholarship coordinator of every Colorado high school, including public and private high schools and alternative schools, which had students in the 12th grade. For the Geauga County Ohio Scholarship, that application (in English and Spanish) was uploaded to the foundation's website in January, 2023 and notice was mailed to the scholarship coordinator for every Geauga County, Ohio school that had students in the 12th grade. Once received, subcommittees (one in Colorado and one in Ohio) comprised of members of The Kit Faragher Foundation Board of Directors reviewed the completed applications to determine if they met the scholarship requirements. The applicant pool was narrowed down, based primarily upon the financial need of the applicants, although the activities of the applicants and their essays were also considered. The applications were then reviewed by all the members of Colorado and Geauga County Ohio Kit Faragher Memorial Scholarship Selection Committees, which determined which applicants to interview. Based upon the individual interviews, the four scholarship recipients for the 2024-2025 school year were chosen by The Kit Faragher Memorial Scholarship Selection Committees. The decision was then approved by the Board of Directors of The Kit Faragher Foundation.In order to maintain the scholarship, the recipients must maintain a 2.5 GPA during the time period over which the scholarship is paid out, usually four semesters. Additionally, the recipients must submit a personal written assessment of accomplishments after each semester for the same time period. Transcripts and the personal written assessment must be submitted to The Kit Faragher Foundation at the end of each semester/quarter during the time period over which the scholarship is paid out. The scholarship funds may be used for tuition, books, lab fees, or other costs directly related to the degree program. The scholarship payments are made directly to the college/university where the student is attending. In addition to the scholarships awarded by the committee, three special awards were made in the form of student assistance stipends to scholarship applicants who, while not awarded a scholarship, were recommended by the committee as exceptional applicants based on the same criteria utilized for the scholarship awards. Student Assistance Stipends awarded in 2024 totalled $4.313.”
