We take pride in offering scholarships to graduating seniors from the three Amphitheater district high schools: Amphi High, CDO, or Ironwood Ridge. Applications are available each spring. The Amphi Foundation’s School Support Committee is responsible for the selection process and recipients are recognized at their high school when awarded. Scholarship payments are made directly to the students’ future school and are for one year only. Contact amphifnd@amphi.com with any questions.
THE DUE DATE FOR ALL SCHOLARSHIPS FOR THE CLASS OF 2024 IS APRIL 10, 2024
The David B. Upshaw Future Teacher Scholarship celebrates our future change makers! We award up to $1,250 per scholarship to four students. This scholarship is intended to support students who plan to become a teacher. Eligible students must be accepted to attend a college or university and demonstrate a desire and plan to pursue a major that prepares them to become an educator of PreK – 12th grade. Funding for our Future Teacher Scholarships is provided by a gift from the estate of David B. Upshaw, a 26 year veteran teacher in the Amphitheater School District.

In 2023, we introduced the Amphi Family Scholarship for students who have grown up with a caregiver/parent who is an Amphi employee. We award up to $2,500 per scholarship to two students. Eligible students must plan to attend any post-secondary education or training and have a primary caregiver employed by the Amphitheater Public School District. This scholarship is given in memory of Benjamin whose life was transformed not only by public education, but because he was raised by public educators. The people who cared for, loved, and raised him over the years worked as teachers, custodians, librarians, security, and cafeteria workers. This scholarship honors Ben by assisting the children of Amphi employees who, regardless of their role, make a difference every day in the lives of Amphi students.
