Poway Valley Collision for Future Trade Professionals

The Poway Valley Collision Scholarship, established in partnership with the Poway High Alumni Association, supports Poway High School students pursuing trade school, vocational program, or apprenticeship after graduation. Examples are automotive, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, welding, HVAC, cosmetology, and beauty schools. Poway Valley Collision has proudly served Poway and the surrounding community since 1987 and has been independently owned by the Faaborg family for over 30 years. Owner Jim Faaborg, a Poway High alum, is dedicated to giving back to his community by sponsoring local youth sports teams at Poway High School and the Poway Rodeo.

Class of '93 Titan Impact Scholarship

The Class of '93 Titan Impact Scholarship was founded by Poway High School classmates and lifelong friends Jolene Farish, Karen Zamir, Jasmine Willois, Jennifer Harvey-Dunlap, and Sara Keddington - a group of friends who once called themselves the "Zulu Nation."

This scholarship is meant to provide more than financial assistance. It is a small vote of confidence from one generation of Titans to the next, created to give back to the school that brought these friends together and to recognize seniors who are blazing a path of their own.

This scholarship celebrates students who are willing to explore, take initiative, stay independent, and keep searching for what truly matters to them. We believe there are many ways to build a meaningful and fulfilling life.

We are especially interested in students who are pursuing passion over clout - young people who are not simply following the crowd, but are learning who they are, what they value, and how they want to make their mark.It's about rewarding character, encouraging connection, and building a culture that lasts far beyond graduation.

May this scholarship help the recipient move forward with a little more freedom, a little more confidence, and a whole lot of pride in the path they choose.

Coach Bob Champion Memorial Scholarship

This scholarship is established by the Poway High Alumni Association and Robert H. Champion for Poway High School students who are passionate about their area of study, the environment, and athletics. Champ began his teaching and coaching career at Poway High in 1972. During his 34 years at PHS, he taught Oceanography, Science and Physics and coached numerous sports including soccer, football, golf, lacrosse and track. He started the soccer program at Poway High and finished his career with 483 victories and three CIF championships. In addition, Coach Champ started and led the Varsity Club at Poway High that helped student-athletes focus on leadership, goals and values. Champ was passionate about the ocean environment and started a club called C.A.R.E.D (Coastal Area Research and Environmental Development) where he led his students on hundreds of field trips to study and measure coastal erosion and change. Champ was also adamant about teamwork throughout the campus and worked hard to promote unity amongst the Emerald Brigade Band and the athletics department. In 2008, Champ was inducted as a Charter member of the San Diego County High School Coaching Legends by the San Diego Hall of Champions. In short, Coach Champion dedicated most of his adult life to the students of Poway High School. He made a positive impact on thousands of lives and this tribute scholarship was set up to continue his strong commitment to education, the environment, athletics, and the Poway High community.

HaskeL TODD Memorial Scholarship

Haskel Todd attended Poway schools from elementary through high school. He graduated from Poway High School in 1977. He faced many difficulties in his childhood and used athletics as a way to escape. Whether it was baseball, basketball or football or anything else, Haskel was passionate about sports and he was a success on the field. At times, though, academics were a struggle for Haskel and his hopes to get an athletic scholarship for college were ended with multiple injuries suffered on the field.

Haskel Todd passed away on December 31, 2017. Prior to his death, Haskel made provisions to provide funding for a scholarship in his name at Poway High School. The purpose is to assist PHS students that are passionate about sports but who may need a financial boost to overcome hardships in order to pursue educational opportunities beyond high school.
