Scholarship Fund

Sampson High School Alumni Association, Inc. was founded in 1973 and awarded its first scholarship in 1975. Since then, wee have supported almost 200 students in their post-secondary educational pursuits.

The SHSAA is dedicated to assisting needy students to attain a secondary education and to become examples for those youngsters who follow them in life. The Association awards up to three scholarships annually totaling up to $14,000. This assistance is particularly for underprivileged students from Clinton, NC in Sampson County and descendants of the members of the Association.

SHSAA scholarship awardees excel academically and in service to others. Our Scholars share a passion for higher education and many have overcome tremendous challenges to pursue their dreams. High school seniors throughout the United States who meet the eligibility requirements may apply for one of our achievement and need-based scholarships. The application deadline is Saturday, April 25, 2020.

The scholarship committee selects recipients of scholarships every Memorial Day weekend. Scholarship winners are presented at the Annual Reunion in August.
