Granite Hills High School is proud to introduce the Fuentes-Jurkovich Alumni Scholarship. This scholarship is named after Robert Fuentes (Stanford University) and Kristen Jurkovich (UC Berkeley), the top boy and girl in the first class (2003) to graduate from Granite Hills after completing four years of attendance.

This scholarship will be presented at the annual Granite Hills Scholarship Night to a senior boy or girl who has completed a rigorous schedule and demonstrated excellence in academics for four years at Granite Hills High School. The scholarship is awarded to a student in the top 5% of their graduating class with post-graduate plans.

This is a $1000 scholarship that will be awarded each year, and if you choose to donate to this scholarship fund, you will automatically become a member of the GHHS Alumni Association. Even if you join this network, you will not officially become a member of the association until you donate. All donations are directly deposited into the Fuentes-Jurkovich Alumni Scholarship Fund. Even if you can't donate yet (or at all), we encourage you to join the network to stay in touch with your Grizz roots.

You can send donations to Granite Hills High School: 1701 E. Putnam, Porterville, CA 93257. Please make checks payable to the Fuentes-Jurkovich Alumni Scholarship. Every small amount helps! (If you're a poor college student, send a $5 check. If you have rich parents, ask them to donate $50 or $100).

The fund was started in 2006 with a generous $15,000 donation from a GHHS faculty member.
2006 winner: Reid Bartlett

There is only enough funding to last two more years at $1,000 per award.
