Scholarship Drive Information - 2020
This year marks the 54th anniversary of the Waunakee Scholarship Fund! Since its inception in 1966, the fund has awarded $1,215,852 in scholarships to 5,715 students pursuing higher education following graduation. Last year alone, $52,455 in scholarships was awarded. This has been possible only because of the generosity of our wonderful community.
As the community grows, so does our student population and the need for ongoing support of those students. The 2020 Waunakee High School graduating class is 330 students. It is anticipated that 85-90% of these students will attend a post-secondary education institution.
As we are not able to conduct the traditional door-to-door drive this year, participating students are being asked to reach out to the Waunakee Community the week of May 11-17 in a way that works best for them, such as sharing on personal social media platforms, emailing, texting, or distributing flyers in mail slots. Donations can either be mailed in or given online through Classmunity.
The Scholarship Committee and Administration are very sensitive to the fact that during these unprecedented times people may not be able to donate as they may want to, or have in the past, and we understand whole-heartedly given the current situation.
All money is collected and distributed to seniors who have participated in the drive and applied for this scholarship.
Contributions can be made payable to: Waunakee Scholarship Fund
