Copper Shores Community Health Foundation is excited to award 18 scholarships to students at 10 local schools in the Copper Country. This year’s awards include a new scholarship worth up to $20,000 that was awarded to graduating seniors, Career Technical Education (CTE) scholarships in partnership with Keweenaw Economic Development Alliance, six scholarships funded by Joseph Kirkish and two by the McIntyre family. Combined, the scholarships total up to $111,000 in financial support for local students.
This scholarship is renewable for up to four years, totaling as much $20,000 in financial award per student.
These students are enrolled in a certificate program or an associate degree in a skilled trade or career technical education program.
Copper Shores’ intention is that recipients use the scholarship to help pay for education costs at a post-secondary school of their choosing.
These students are congregation members of St. Ignatius Loyola and/or St. Albert the Great Churches, upon request of Kirkish.
This scholarship is for two eligible Brothers of the Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity at Michigan Technological University, an organization that Kirkish joined during his time in school.
The McIntyre Family's intention is that recipients, graduating seniors from Ontonagon High School, use the scholarship to help pay for education costs at a post-secondary school of their choosing.
