Donors also fund several scholarships annually.

  • We have scholarships for: art, business, education, engineering, general, healthcare, technical and several miscellaneous majors of study. Our scholarship program supports the traditional four-year college/university student, as well as non-traditional students who may be entering the trade fields, either in a certificate program, associate degree or apprenticeship.

  • Since it’s inception in the 2003 school year, $738,500 in Richard W. Carlson Memorial Scholarships have been awarded to deserving graduates of Iron Mountain High School. This is only one of our funds!

  • The General Scholarship is unique in that monetary contributions of any amount can be donated to this fund. The scholarship fund, which was first awarded in 1990, has assisted over 120 graduating seniors with a total of $318,600.

  • New for the Class of 2021, the J. Robert and Kathleen Rochon Memorial Scholarship has been established by the children who so generously contributed $50,000 to honor their parents. The scholarship is designated for a graduate who will pursue an education degree at an accredited four-year university of their choice.

    The General Scholarship

    The Iron Mountain High School graduating Class of 2022 was the 33rd class to be awarded scholarships made possible through the General Scholarship Fund. Who knew this fund that was established in 1988, and first awarded in 1990, would grow to what it has today. To date, over $318,600 has been awarded to IMHS graduates! What is to unique about the General Scholarship Fund, it that any amount of money can be donated to it, large or small and does make a difference. These scholarship awards would never be possible without the support from individuals who have contributed on behalf of their class, parents. siblings, teachers, friends, or even a life event. Donations of $100 or more are recognized on engraved display plaques, which are on our General Scholarship Wall, located on the main floor of the Iron Mountain High School.

    If you are interested in making a tax deductible contribution as a graduating class, as an individual to honor or memorialize someone, or as a general donation to this fund, please contact the Scholarship Administrator at IMHS 779-2610, ext. 4318 or email smithd@imschools.org
