We are happy to announce that the Taft Alumni Association will offer $750.00 and $1000.00 scholarships this school year. The first is the customary TAA scholarships awarded
to students who have proved their abilities through:
  • Academic Achievement
  • School and Extracurricular Activities
  • School Spirit
The second is the annual Hendrickson Scholarship is presented in memory of Robert “Bill” Hendricksen, Class of 1960, through a special donation by his family. Mr. Hendricksen had been an average student, but he made a success of his life through hard work.
