The Goodfellow Scholarship

The Douglas Goodfellow Memorial Scholarship will be offered annually to students graduating from Volcano Vista High School (VVHS). The scholarship commemorates the teaching career of Douglas Goodfellow, who taught at VVHS from 2008 to 2022. Despite a rough childhood, and multiple attempts at completing his college education, Doug persevered and completed his bachelor’s and master's degrees in his 40's. He embodied resilience, persistence, and a lifelong love of learning.

In honor of his storied educational journey, there is no minimum GPA requirement to apply to the Douglas Goodfellow Memorial Scholarship. Students who may have struggled academically are especially encouraged to apply.

For the inaugural class of Goodfellow Scholars, we are offering two awards of $2,500 each. Funds may be paid directly to the institute you will be attending, or to you for cost-of-living expenses while you are in school.
