As part of its education programming, and on behalf of Bob and Phyllis Henigson, the Funhouse Commons will be awarding an annual scholarship of up to $16,000 to one graduate of Orcas Island High School beginning in June.

The program was created in partnership with the Henigson Public School Student Fund, or HPSSF, which through the Funhouse Commons has been providing online classes, SAT Test Prep and College Counseling to Orcas High School for several years.  The program will be structured so that the grantee will be awarded $4,000 per year for four years, subject to specific enrollment and performance standards; the HPSSF has committed to award one grant per year for five years.

The award will be granted based in part on the following: academic performance, community service/engagement, years of enrollment in the Orcas Island School District and participation in HPSSF/Funhouse Commons programs.

Applicants will be required to submit an application to the Funhouse Commons by May 1. Complete details and application information will be available at http://funhousecommons.org/.
