Scholarships Awarded Since 2015
Starting in 2019, our Greater Grays Harbor Foundation has supported various programs in our county, including:

200+ Aberdeen High School Juniors (11th grade), participated in 2019 and learned the basics of entrepreneurship – including basic marketing and business strategy.

The Aberdeen High School delegation competed in a national competition in Louisville, KY and was comprised of students from Aberdeen and Harbor High Schools. Students gained valuable experience through their participation in a national competition in areas such as nurse assisting, audio production, HVAC and refrigeration, and entrepreneurship. This year, an Aberdeen student placed third in the nation in Medical Assisting.

The Elma High School Chapter Business Procedures team finished in first place in a national competition in Louisville, KY that tests the problem solving and teamwork skills that are necessary to succeed in a workplace setting. The Mobile Robotic Technology team also participated and gained valuable experience in this national competition.

Career Pathway Day was coordinated with several partners and involved 160 students from Hoquiam and Ocosta High School. The purpose of the program was to introduce the students to youth apprenticeships, tour various companies, and explore potential career paths and opportunities.

The Aberdeen High School team traveled to San Antonio, TX to compete at the national level in the website design competitive event. This was also the first team from Aberdeen to compete in this event in over 20 years.
