Mission Statement
Gunn Foundation provides need-based scholarships to graduating Gunn High School seniors to help them further their education and secure their future.
About This Cause
Gunn Foundation was founded in 1968 by a small group of parent volunteers, who recognized the community value of making sure all students have the chance to attend college, regardless of their financial situation. In over 50 years of Gunn Foundation’s scholarship giving, nearly 600 students have benefited from the generosity of the Gunn community. Gunn Foundation scholarships are meant to bridge the gap on expenses — tuition deposits to secure a student’s admission spot, housing deposits, textbooks, and usage fees — that are often not covered by financial aid packages. Especially when these costs are due upfront, a student from a family with limited disposable income may not be able to attend the school to which they have worked so hard to earn admission. For many students, Gunn Foundation scholarships make all the difference. In 2020, $92k in scholarships were granted to 23 students, more than half of whom will be the first in their family to attend college. Donors making this possible include Gunn families, students, teachers, administrators, alumni, neighbors, and local business leaders. Students have shared that our scholarships are incredibly meaningful to them because they represent a belief in these students from their own school community.
