Scholarship Drive Information - 2019
This year marks the 53rd anniversary of the Waunakee Scholarship Fund! Since its inception in 1966, the fund has awarded $1,165,945 in scholarships to 5,575 students. Last year alone, $55,807 in scholarships was awarded. This has been possible only because of the generosity of our wonderful community. The Scholarship Committee and recipients of past scholarships would like to thank you for your continuing support of this scholarship program.
As the community grows, so does our student population and the need for ongoing support of those students pursuing higher education. The 2019 Waunakee High School graduating class is 315 students. It is anticipated that 85-90% of these students will attend a post-secondary education institution.
On Wednesday, April 17, the WHS senior class will canvass the Waunakee School District community to raise scholarship money. Our goal this year will be $53,000.
All money collected is distributed to seniors who have participated in the drive and applied for this scholarship.
If you will not be home on April 17, (student collection night), contributions may be dropped off in the high school main office or mailed to: Waunakee Scholarship Fund, 301 Community Drive, Waunakee, WI 53597. Your contribution may be tax deductible; consult your tax advisor.
On the night of the drive, please consider wearing a shirt, sweatshirt, and/or baseball cap representing your post-secondary education institution. The Waunakee residents would love to see where you will be attending.
Thank you for your investment in our youth and in our community.
