The Brian Halfwassen Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in Brian’s name shortly after his death in 2025.
Brian was active in sports and music while growing up in Salinas and attending local schools. He was a proud Viking from the North Salinas High School Class of 1985. While at North High, Brian was a member of the Football, Track & Field and Wrestling teams. He also was a percussionist in the Concert and Marching Bands.
The goal of this scholarship fund is to reward graduating seniors from North Salinas High School who are BOTH athletes and musicians. A unique combination for talented and dedicated students.
This $1000 scholarship is for students planning to attend a 4-year college.
