Our Founders
We thank these women who began a foundation which to date has given over $500,000.00 dollars to deserving students in scholarships to help their dreams of higher education come true!
Their legacy of hope has directly impacted hundreds of lives for the better and we are honored to continue doing their good work, with the generous support of others.

Our Mission
The Mount Vernon High School Scholarship Foundation was formed in 1984 by members of the MVHS class of 1934 during their 50th class reunion. They wanted to honor and pay tribute to graduates of Mount Vernon High School by helping students further their post-high school education, whether at a four-year university, a vocational/technical school, or a community college.
