FESD Honored to Manage the Hubbard Family Foundation Scholarship for Graduating Seniors

LYNNWOOD, WA – The Foundation for Edmonds School District has announced that it will manage the Hubbard Family Foundation Scholarship.  The Foundation was established by Larry Hubbard, a dedicated and longstanding member of the Edmonds community, in 1983 to “enhance the quality of life for the citizens of the City of Edmonds and South Snohomish County.”

A generous and kind citizen, Larry Hubbard lived his life serving the people of Edmonds. As the fourth generation of a long line of Edmonds pioneers, Larry was invested in the city and took over the family insurance business after his father, Ernie, passed away in 1963. Larry also served as the Edmonds’ city attorney and as a member of the first city planning commission.

Larry’s legacy continues in Edmonds today. Larry purchased and willed the Edmonds Memorial Cemetery & Columbarium to the city, which continues as an active cemetery today. Alongside this, Larry created the Hubbard Family Foundation to provide grants and scholarships to those within the Edmonds School District’s boundaries. Two graduating seniors per high school will be awarded a Hubbard Family Foundation Scholarship to pursue post-secondary education.

“We are so honored to continue the legacy of Larry Hubbard and his family,” says Deborah Brandi, Executive Director. “His contributions have had a huge impact on so many in our community. This is a wonderful opportunity to enrich the lives of our graduating high school seniors and help them become the champions of our future.”
