The Salem High School Alumni Association was organized in 1882 and created the first high school alumni scholarship fund in Ohio in 1903. Since the awarding of the first major scholarship in 1908, our association has awarded more than $7.9 million to 2407 recipients. Thanks to generous alumni and donors over the past 138 years, the association’s portfolio stands at over ten million dollars. To standardize recognition of our past and future donors for their significant gifts in advancing the mission of the association, the Salem High School Alumni Association has created recognition societies.
The association thanks all our donors for their generosity and for the differences they have made in the lives of our alumni. We need an active alumni community so that we can continue to offer our students opportunities and life advantages. The role our donors play in the success of our students is transformational.
Through our newsletter, we acknowledge all donations both large and small.
We grant membership in the Lifetime Society for donors of at least $100 per year for at least three sequential calendar years. Donors of $10,000 or more are recognized through our Leaders Society. Donors of $100,000 or more achieve a higher-level recognition and may request a perpetual Named Scholarship.
We memorialize deceased individuals or families who have given or bequeathed funds or for whom memorial donations have been made totaling at least $10,000 through our Memorial Society or higher-level recognition.
We encourage donations by estate planning through our Legacy Society (Legacy Acknowledgement Document).
