In 1974, officers of the Fowlerville Alumni Association established the FHS Alumni Scholarship Program. Monies are raised yearly to enable the organization to present scholarships to members of the current high school graduating class.
Over the past 40 plus years of the program, well over 150 young people have been recipients of this scholarship. The organization hopes to continue this tradition. Again this year, the alumni association will present four scholarships at the 2019 Senior Awards Night in May. Recipients are also recognized at the annual FHS Alumni Banquet. This year the 126th annual banquet is Saturday, June 8, at 6 p.m. in the high school cafeteria.
The scholarship fund is maintained through the many donations received in memory of loved ones who either were graduates of Fowlerville High School or who maintained strong connections to the school, including teachers, coaches, bus drivers, and friends of the school.
Please feel free to make donations in any amount at any time during the year. Some send donations annually, while for others it is a one-time gift.
Donations should be sent to: Ed Helzerman, Post Office Box 446, Fowlerville MI 48836. To be recognized in the 2019 program, a donation should reach Helzerman by May 6. Your generosity will not only help maintain the scholarship program, but will assist a graduating senior with college expenses. The FHS Alumni Association is a 501(c)(3) organization. It is the intention of the organization to establish a foundation grant once sufficient funds have been obtained.
