Somers Education Foundation (SEF)
As of November 2011 we have awarded more than $825,000 across 270 grants and scholarships. Grants have been used to purchase a range of items, from “SmartBoards” and computer/audio-visual equipment, to uniforms for the fife and drum corps, to materials for Red Ribbon Week. Diversity programs such as “Rachel’s Challenge” and “Ouch–That Stereotype Hurts” have also received grants. Five scholarships, based on leadership and merit, are awarded annually to graduating Somers High School seniors, and selected graduating eighth graders who have overcome challenges receive awards as well. Each year, SEF also awards the EXCEL scholarships (EXcellent Character, Exemplary Leadership) to graduating seniors as well as awards to graduating 8th graders.
