Foundation Awards Over $100,000 in Scholarships at Class Night 2021

The Albion High School Alumni Foundation has reached a long awaited goal!  Over $100,000 was awarded to the Class of 2021 graduates during their annual Class Night ceremony.  Although we could not be there in person this year to congratulate the winners, we were definitely there in spirit!  

The scholarship committee reviewed numerous student applications for the 41 different scholarships funded by the foundation. It is always a difficult decision but the committee feels these recipients fit the qualifications of each scholarship.
