Michael W. Foster (’58), native Astorian and teacher, founded Astoria High School Scholarships, Inc.
in 1976 to give Astoria High graduates assistance for continued education. Beginning with a modest
car wash driven by a strong desire to assist Astoria High School graduates in pursuing post-
secondary education, Mr. Foster, along with a large number of teachers, alumni, and volunteers, have
set Astoria High School Scholarships, Inc. on its path.
The first scholarships were awarded in the spring of 1977, two awards of $250 each. Over the course
of the past 40 years, AHSSI has awarded over $5.8 million in scholarships monies to over 2500
Astoria High School graduates. During the past 5 years, AHSSI has awarded over $300,000 in
scholarships to 60 – 90 seniors in each graduating class. Funds managed by AHSSI have grown from
humble beginnings to over 70 separate accounts totaling more than $10 million in assets. Most of the
accounts are family memorial accounts, honoring Astoria alumni and community members; others are
supported by graduating classes, while local businesses and community organizations have also
established accounts through AHSSI.
