The Flaherty Impact Foundation announces the launch of the Flaherty IMPACT Scholarship, a new scholarship opportunity dedicated to supporting higher education and building the next generation of leaders in El Dorado County. This scholarship is a scholarship for high-achieving, creative problem-solving students who work diligently to better their community and look beyond themselves.
The Flaherty Impact Scholarship will be open for all dedicated El Dorado Union High School seniors who are pursuing education past high school because of their love of learning and dedication to their local community and making the world a better place. Multiple recipients will be chosen to receive the scholarship over a four-year period. Special consideration will be given to applicants who have community service hours; work experience, especially those who have shown entrepreneurship; and high school athletes of two years or more.
Rescue Union School Board Member Michael Flaherty knows first-hand the importance of supporting community youth.
“We are excited to introduce our IMPACT scholarship as part of our Foundation’s ongoing commitment to youth here in El Dorado County,” said Flaherty. “We believe that investing in the education of talented and driven students is essential for building a brighter future. This scholarship will help alleviate financial barriers and empower recipients to pursue their academic goals.”
Dedicated to making a profound and lasting impact on the lives of children in need, Michael and his wife Tricia established the Flaherty Impact Foundation in 2023. Their primary focus is providing assistance to youth in need, which includes displaced and homeless children within El Dorado County, families dealing with life-threatening diseases, at-risk foster youth seeking higher education and achievement and need-based scholarships supporting higher education. They are committed to addressing diverse challenges and the mission to create a world where every child has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential.
