This year marks the 17th year for these Scholarships.

Please consider making an on-line or mail in donation (see details below).

Since 2005, a total of 34 scholarships have been awarded to college-bound graduates of Cary High. Each scholarship is now $3000. The recipients are selected by the Cary HS selection committee and based on character traits of students who strive to “Make a Difference”, just as Kassel did in his short life time.

This fund is managed by Triangle Community Foundation; direct tax-deductible donations can be made on line at https://trianglecf.org/donate/ be sure to choose “Kassel Smit Make a Difference Fund” from the drop-down list.


You can also send donations by mail to:

This year we have set a goal to raise $5000 by the time the next scholarships are awarded in May of 2022.
