Scholarships: 
The Alumni Association is pleased to award scholarship money to deserving high school seniors.  The amount of the scholarship is determined by the Executive Board. The recipient must attend one full semester of school or refund the money. Recipients are announced during the High School Awards Night and the certificates are distributed at the annual banquet. Recipients must attend the banquet in order to receive the scholarship and provide proof of enrollment. Each student applying must maintain a “B” average and have attended Carlisle Schools for two full years.
 
Stars for Tomorrow:
This award models the statewide Character Counts Initiative and is given to two 8th grade students each year. We have formed a partnership with our local banks in providing two $100 savings bonds to students displaying the six pillars. Students complete an application form and submit two recommendations from adults who can attest to their good character. A selection committee, made up of community members, reviews the forms and recommendations. The winners are announced at the annual banquet.

Mini-Grant:
Each year the association selects a Carlisle teacher for our $150 mini-grant. We are proud to be able to support our quality staff and the school system by awarding this monetary grant to a teacher presenting an innovative idea to enhance learning in their classrooms.  Teachers apply for the grant with the approval of their building principal. The executive board reads the applications and determines one winner each year. The staff person is then recognized at the annual banquet.
 
Donations/Memorial Gifts/Honor Roll:
Your donations and memorial gifts can be received at any time during the year. The purpose of the endowment fund is to provide a perpetual amount of interest income to be used to supplement the annual scholarship awarded by the scholarship committee. Alumni wishing to donate $500 over a five year period will be given a place on the Carlisle Alumni Honor Roll. The Honor Roll members are listed in the banquet program and the annual newsletter. Memorial gifts are listed in the annual newsletter as well, during the year they are received. All donations and memorial gifts should be sent to the Alumni Association, P.O. Box 3, Carlisle,IA 50047.  Please click here to download the brochure on giving memorials.
 
Dues/Newsletter: 
Recent graduates will automatically become members of the Association for a period of one year, after which dues will be requested. Dues are determined by the executive board and are used for the support of the Association and the annual meeting. Upon payment of the $5 dues, members will receive the newsletter and invitation to the annual banquet. All alumni in their 50th year since graduation and beyond, will be placed on a permanent mailing list.  Your class rep receives the newsletter every year.  All class members celebrating their 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th year reunions will receive a newsletter for that year. All alumni may download the newsletter at http://carlislealumni.wikispaces.com
