It’s time for graduating seniors to begin applying for local scholarships! Do you know a student graduating this spring? Encourage them to apply for one of the many local scholarships our community offers. A lot of organizations and people in our community offer scholarships to support graduates. A variety of scholarships is available to all students, not just those with top grades, and many of the scholarships are for students seeking other pathways besides college. The deadline for most scholarship applications is Friday, Feb. 21, 2025.

The Los Alamos Public Schools Foundation is one of the local organizations which awards several scholarships each year. The Foundation’s scholarships are based on community service, career technical pathways, and this year we have a new scholarship for future teachers too.

Students receiving Foundation scholarships select an Educator of Distinction from their years at Los Alamos Public Schools who is recognized along with the student.

The Foundation also administers many additional scholarships on behalf of people within our community including: the Irene Boone Memorial Scholarship, the June and Harry Ettinger Memorial Scholarship, the Kristin Kosiewicz Substance Abuse Awareness Scholarship, the Raymon “Ray” Maldonado Memorial Scholarship, the Ross and Lola Ramsey Memorial Scholarship and the Sophia Feldman Memorial Scholarship.

Seniors who wish to apply for one of the LAPS Foundation scholarships or one of the scholarships administered by the Foundation can go to lapsfoundation.com and apply online. If you have questions or need assistance, contact LAPS Foundation at 505.500.6501.
