WSF Scholarship Program: How to Get Involved
STUDENTS - APPLY NOW!
We offer a wide range of scholarships for GPAs 2.0 and above, and most can be accessed through our One-Stop Application. This means students are automatically considered for all scholarships for which they're eligible—with just one application! Our first deadline, for merit-based scholarships is approaching on April 1, followed by a July 1 deadline for financial need-based scholarships. Learn how to apply. 
 
SUPPORT SCHOLARSHIPS
Since 1923, people from around the community have joined together to ensure that more local students can pursue higher education. Last year we awarded $1.5 million in scholarships, yet the financial need for students is still great. If you are interested in supporting this work, we welcome donations from the public, or email us to learn more about setting up a scholarship fund. 
 
BECOME A VOLUNTEER
We're recruiting volunteers to help us read and score applications virtually this spring! If you would like to volunteer, please express interest by 4/1.

STORY OF IMPACT

Giving Others a Chance to Succeed

For Lydia Jordan, nothing is more important than faith, family, and community.

In fact, it was a conversation at her family reunion that sparked the memory of her late Uncle Carlyle and his dedication to building a better future for others.
Determined to continue her uncle’s legacy, Lydia set out to create a scholarship in his honor.
