Through a generous donation from one of our classmates, the Class of 1969 Scholarship Fund was established in 2010 by Kathleen (Paini) Clemence under the auspices of the Terra Linda Scholarship Foundation.
This "class" scholarship was the first of its kind at Terra Linda High School (way to go Class of '69!). The Class of 1969 Scholarship Award will be presented annually at the Terra Linda High School Awards Night. The first scholarship was awarded in 2010 in the amount of $600. Subsequent scholarships were presented for $750, and since 2016, our scholarship award has been $1,000.
The total raised for our Class Scholarship Fund thus far is $17,288! However, $12,350 of that amount has already been awarded (as of May 24, 2023) leaving a current balance in the fund of $4,938. To ensure our Class of 1969 Scholarship Fund remains self-funded, donations (large or small) are always welcome.
