Scholarship Drive Information - 2021
This year marks the 55th anniversary of the Waunakee Scholarship Fund! Since its inception in 1966, the fund has awarded $1,245,071 in scholarships to 5,842 students pursuing higher education following graduation. Last year alone, $38,100 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 2021 Waunakee High School graduating class is 330 students. It is anticipated that 85-90% of these students will attend a post-secondary education institution.
On Tuesday, April 20 and Wednesday, April 21, the WHS Senior Class will canvass the Waunakee School District and hand out flyers in the community to raise scholarship money. Our goal this year will be $40,000.
As students hand out flyers on April 20-21, please consider wearing a shirt, sweatshirt, and/or baseball cap representing your post-secondary education institution.
All money is collected and distributed to seniors who have participated in the drive and applied for this scholarship.
Contributions can be made online through Classmunity or checks can be made payable to: Waunakee Scholarship Fund
