Teton County Scholarship Program Celebrates Class of 2024 with over $1M in Scholarships

Teton Coun­ty Schol­ar­ship Pro­gram (TCSP) was pleased to announce its 2024 win­ners at Schol­ar­ship Night on April 24. This year, 156 stu­dents from across Teton Coun­ty applied for 75 schol­ar­ships spon­sored by gen­er­ous local donors. A grand total of $1,001,648 was award­ed to Teton Coun­ty high school seniors.

Dr. Gillian Chap­man, Super­in­ten­dent of Teton Coun­ty School Dis­trict #1, said, ​“The fact that our com­mu­ni­ty steps up to sup­port local stu­dents on this lev­el is sim­ply amaz­ing. It gives our stu­dents the con­fi­dence and resources they need to suc­ceed. We are incred­i­bly grate­ful to the more than six­ty donors who make these awards pos­si­ble. The dif­fer­ence you make in the lives of our stu­dents is tru­ly life-changing.”

TCSP is admin­is­tered by the Fund for Pub­lic Edu­ca­tion and the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of Jack­son Hole, in part­ner­ship with TCSD#1. It is open to all grad­u­at­ing high school seniors in Teton Coun­ty, includ­ing home-schooled students. 

“The Teton Coun­ty Schol­ar­ship Pro­gram has grown so much over the years, but its spir­it has remained the same,” said Jen­nifer Jellen, the Fund for Pub­lic Education’s exec­u­tive director. ​“This is about our com­mu­ni­ty help­ing one anoth­er and build­ing bet­ter futures for the kids and fam­i­lies in our valley.”

Local donors came togeth­er to pro­vide fund­ing for 224 indi­vid­ual TCSP awards. The awards cel­e­brate stu­dent achieve­ments rang­ing from aca­d­e­mics to ath­let­ics to com­mu­ni­ty ser­vice to resilience in the face of adversity. 

“The finan­cial costs asso­ci­at­ed with col­lege are a road­block for many stu­dents, and we are hon­ored to help bridge the gap with schol­ar­ships,” said Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion Pres­i­dent Lau­rie Andrews. ​“We hope these schol­ar­ships will be trans­for­ma­tive to the future of the Class of 2024.”

TCSP extends spe­cial thanks to local high school coun­selors and admin­is­tra­tors for their invalu­able partnership.
