If you are a high school senior expecting to graduate in the Spring you likely want to secure all the financial support you can to go toward your next level of education. Scholars of American Liberty (SOAL) is a nonprofit in Yakima, WA providing $2000 scholarships for high school seniors.

Here’s how it works. SOAL offers a free American Government & Politics course which is presented one Saturday per month, for 4-5 hours per class, during the 9 months of the school year from September to May. Students who invest the time, effort and study required to pass the course and submit proof of college or vocational school acceptance, will receive a scholarship.

The classes will cover a wide range of topics essential to understanding the founding of the country including the enlightened thought that produced the vision of freedom, the documents of freedom and governance, the Supreme Court cases that shape the nation, and the political philosophies and ideas that affect daily life in America today.

If you're interested in earning a high school senior scholarship, call 509-949-6931 or schedule a brief meeting on our contact page for more information or to sign up for our course. Also see the registration link below.

The SOAL class taught me about where the ideas of our government came from as well as our role as citizens of the US and just how much we have the ability to impact our government.

While many Americans look around them at the current state of the nation and wish for change, few actually make the efforts to do so. Scholars of American Liberty is a fantastic program that seeks to create educated citizens that can lead our nation into its future, which should prove bright given the care with which the curriculum of the course is designed. I couldn’t be happier with the program, and I’m certain that the education we receive there will serve us and our nation well for years to come.

SOAL is enhancing a desire I have not just to gain knowledge but to apply it to society. By learning about how our country was formed and what our forefathers were thinking, I am aware of notions that they didn't invent but rather are ageless and vital to our daily lives. On top of all that, I am also learning what are my rights and role as a citizen, so that I can live as someone who's informed and ready for the next stages of life.

We are so thankful for the opportunity our son has been given to lean deeper into the history of our country and its constitution. He has enjoyed the class and growing in his understanding of this great nation. This should be essential education for ALL Americans!

Keith Effler, Parent

My son is LOVING SOAL, but it’s not that it’s a fun class, it’s that he comes home excited for history! SOAL is really stretching my son by challenging his thinking! Every day my son comes home from SOAL he is excited for American history and the very fabric of our constitution, which is quite shocking - but fun! I’m impressed with how much my son knows because of SOAL!

Jill Fry, Parent

The SOAL scholarship program and class has been very beneficial for my son. He has learned to think deeper about the history and liberties of our country, as well as prioritizing his own time. Thank you to the teachers for making this possible.
