The Shawnee Mission North Sports Scholarship Foundation was founded in February 2009. The Foundation was originally titled the “SMN Football Alumni Foundation.” The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non profit group. Your donations are tax deductible.
In 2012, we evolved from a football group to an multiple sports foundation with scholarships for 10 men’s and women’s activities. Each of the scholarships is awarded to a graduating senior student athlete based on their excellence in the classroom, athletic participation and in the community. The scholarships are named after former SM North coaches to honor their contributions and provide a living legacy for each of them.
The Foundation’s endowment fund as of July 2022 is up to $325,000. The endowment fund supports eight scholarships annually. Each of the legacy/memorial scholarships is $1,000.
