The demand for GRANTS has grown, we need to increase our financial resources.

WHAT WE DO:
The Kelso Public Schools Foundation (KPSF) has been serving Kelso students since 1991.

This past year alone the Foundation provided over $100,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors and more than $16,000 in grants to fund programs at schools throughout the district.
The foundation now staffs an office at Kelso High School. Help from the foundation is available throughout the school year to assist students, staff, and interested Hilanders with the process of applying for scholarships and grants, volunteering, donating or creating a scholarship.
