They want to help you keep your child active.

Island County Public Health, in conjunction with other local organizations, is offering “Healthy Island Youth Initiative Physical Activity Scholarships” to Whidbey student/athletes in need.

The scholarships, which can be requested to cover things such as registration fees and equipment vouchers, are intended to provide confidential support to youth who might otherwise be unable to participate in physical activities.

They are available to students eligible for free or reduced lunch.

Funds have been donated by the Goosefoot Foundation, Island Thrift, the South Whidbey Parks and Aquatic Foundation, and Whidbey Telecom.

There is a limit of one scholarship per quarter per individual ($200), with a maximum amount of $500 per year.

Individuals may apply for consecutive quarters, but priority is given to new applicants.

To be eligible, a student must be a primary resident of Island County and commit to attend a minimum of 80% of scheduled practices and games/lessons.

No double-dipping, as those already being served by an existing scholarship or fee waiver program that covers the full cost of participation are not eligible.

If you are eligible for free school lunch, you can receive 100% towards registration/equipment fees.

Those who receive reduced school lunch are eligible to receive 50% towards their fees.

Let the honors rain down.

The Coupeville High School Class of 2022, which endured through a pandemic which altered public schooling for two-plus years, exits this weekend.

But, before graduation arrives — 1 PM Saturday, June 11 at Mickey Clark Field — school officials and community members are hailing all the Wolves have achieved.

During a virtual ceremony, CHS seniors received awards and scholarships, with the Class of 2022 bagging an impressive amount of financial help for college or trade training.

Morgan Stevens received the CHS Senior Service Award, an honor in which students are nominated by fellow students, before being voted on by faculty.

Good citizenship and sportsmanship are considered, as well as “aiding other students unselfishly, (and) serving faculty, administration and their school in an unselfish manner.”

Brian Casey and Noelle Daigneault were also named as Lion’s Club Students of the Year.

Brian Casey was a strong performer on the field and in the classroom.

There’s $27,000 in scholarships on the table, and some of it could come to Coupeville.

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association is accepting applications through April 1 for its annual Smart Choices Scholarship Program.

There are three $5,000 scholarships, and a flurry of $1,000 bonuses available to students in the Class of 2022.

The program is funded by Gesa Credit Union, the Dairy Farmers of Washington, and Les Schwab Tires.

Excellence in athletics/activities, academics, leadership, and community service are considered by judges.

To be eligible, students must be a senior, have a minimum 3.0 grade point average, and be enrolled as a full-time student in a WIAA member high school such as Coupeville.

If you receive a scholarship, you have to graduate at the end of the 2021-22 school year, and enroll as a full-time student at a college, university, community college, trade or vocational school for the 2022 fall semester.
