Scholarships

SAF is dedicated to supporting education and has established a long tradition of providing scholarships to students in Cherry County. Our scholarships provide financial assistance to aid students in successfully pursuing their educational goals. We accomplish this through the generosity of donors who have established scholarship funds.
