Support and establish student scholarships, or donate to other facility and program fundraising efforts through the East High School Foundation.
Student Scholarships
All donations directly support the East High School Alumni Foundation scholarship program. Donations can be made to various scholarships established and endowed by the foundation, which includes scholarships named for each class. For example, once a class fund has reached $10,000 in donations, it will become endowed, meaning it will award a $500 scholarship to an EHS senior on behalf of your class every year – forever! As the class fund continues to grow, so will the annual scholarship amount.
For more information on scholarships you can support, or on establishing a scholarship for your class or in honor of someone, please reach out to us at info@desmoinesehsalumni.com or 515-512-9195.
Alumni Membership Dues – Special Announcement!
We need you now more than ever, and your $20 EHS Alumni Association membership will go a long way in helping us bounce back for 2021. These are the annual dues that help cover administration and event costs of the Association.
We have the largest, most active and proudest high school alumni association in the world, and now is the time to become even stronger for our community, our school and our students. We are asking all alumni to formalize or renew their annual membership with the East High School Alumni Association before 2020 ends. These modest dues will help us bounce back in 2021 so we can gather and celebrate what it means to be proud East High School alumni – and so we can hold fun and safe events that are better than ever.
All 2021 members will receive a letter of acknowledgement and commemorative East High School coin. We are all eager to reach the time when we can reconnect as a Scarlet community. Your $20 membership dues will help provide the financial base to enable that in 2021. Please join or renew your membership today using the form below. (Please note that membership dues are not considered donations to the scholarship fund and cannot be designated as memorials or honoraries.)
Please note: We incur a processing fee for all online purchases. Please consider covering the 2.9% + 30¢ fee when you fill out the form below. If you are making a donation of more than $100, please consider mailing directly to the East High School Alumni Foundation, PO Box 696, Des Moines, IA 50303. Be sure to designate your class year (if a class designation is desired) or memorial/honorary information on your check or in the notes section of the online shopping cart at checkout. Please make your check out to the East High School Alumni Foundation.
