The Northern Ozaukee Schools Scholarship Foundation is a charitable foundation organized by local citizens and business people and administered by volunteer board members. The income of the fund is used for scholarships and financial aid to assist graduates of Ozaukee High School in their post-high school education. NOSSF is an exempt organization under Sec. 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Donations are deductible for federal and state tax purposes.
In 1987, a group of civic-minded Northern Ozaukee citizens came together with the intent to create a perpetual trust fund of assets that would generate income to award annual scholarships to deserving Northern Ozaukee Schools’ graduates. Their vision was to become known as the Northern Ozaukee Schools’ Scholarship Foundation Inc.
The NOSSF board is made up of volunteers who serve three-year terms. Interested in volunteering? We welcome your time and talents. Contact us: nossf@nosd.edu
Since NOSSF’s formation in 1987, the founding members were able to award their first scholarship of $1,000 in 1989. Those humble beginnings fostered and inspired our great Northern Ozaukee community to see the value of helping to lift our future generations through scholarships.
Through the years, caring citizens have continued to come forward and participate with their time, energy, donations, and memorial gifts. This generosity has allowed the foundation to increase total assets and increase scholarship dollars awarded each year.
Today, we proudly look back to those whose vision was the seed. in recent years, we have awarded in excess of $75,000 annually to deserving students and continue to work to increase awareness of our scholarships to encourage students to achieve, apply and succeed.
