The Angels Over Sandpoint are delighted to offer multiple scholarship and grant opportunities to Bonner County students and citizens. This is just one of many ways the funds raised by this local all-volunteer organization go back into the community.
Interested high school students should use the common scholarship application (available at https://sh.lposd.org/counseling-career-center/scholarship/local-scholarships) for the three scholarships listed below.
Community Service Scholarship
Provides yearly scholarship assistance to students in recognition of their achievements in community service. The Community Service Scholarship is presented during School Scholarship Awards Night. Deadline for application is April 10 at 9:00 a.m.
Lippi Family Scholarship
The Ivano’s Italian Open Golf Scramble has provided financial help for several years to Bonner County graduating seniors who choose to pursue college or trade school.

Deadline for application is April 10 at 9:00 a.m.
Arts Scholarship
This scholarship is open to any high school student in Bonner County, including home-schooled students. Each year, the focus changes to cover all aspects of the arts. This year’s focus is theatre/dance. Deadline for application is April 10 at 9:00 a.m.
