About Fremont Union High Schools Foundation
A recurring pattern defines Fremont Union High Schools Foundation’s recent grantmaking: large annual districtwide awards paired with school-level support for scholarships, athletics, and student programming across the Fremont Union High School District. In 2025, it gave $325,015 to Fremont Union High School District to fund projects and programs throughout the district, continuing a three-year sequence of six-figure district grants. The foundation also backs school-specific needs at Cupertino High School, where one recent award supported the Wesley Marks Scholarship Fund along with senior class events. Another Cupertino grant supported the same scholarship fund together with boys and girls volleyball, showing how the foundation combines student aid with extracurricular support. Its structure includes managed scholarship funds, district program funding, and competitive classroom grants, all tied to the district’s five high schools: Cupertino, Fremont, Homestead, Lynbrook, and Monta Vista. The organization’s stated mission centers on expanding opportunities to explore, discover, and learn for students in those schools.
What Fremont Union High Schools Foundation Funds
Scholarship support is a major thread in the foundation’s work. A $30,500 grant to Cupertino High School supported the Wesley Marks Scholarship, CHS Volleyball, and CHS Grad Night, while a separate $21,213 grant at the same school went to the Wesley Marks Scholarship Fund and senior class events. It also administers named scholarship funds for graduating seniors, including the Tim Shannon Memorial Scholarship, Nick Ferentinos Scholarship, and AVID Senior Scholarships. College and career readiness is another clear area: the foundation funds the district subscription to Naviance, an online planning tool used for self-discovery assessments, college planning, and application guidance. On the student-wellness side, it supports Care Solace, a 24/7 mental health referral service for students, families, and staff. The foundation also awards classroom and teacher grants for projects, materials, technology, and experiential learning.

Several programs are structured as ongoing district commitments rather than open applications, while some managed scholarship funds accept unsolicited support within the donor-defined fund structure.
