The Woodrow Willson High School Community Foundation has awarded $53,000 in scholarships to 28 graduating seniors.
This year the foundation announced that 25% of the senior class applied for the scholarship, a record increase in applicants since its inception.
Since 2011, the foundation has awarded 293 students $494,450 in scholarship money, helping Woodrow seniors pursue university studies at schools including the University of Texas, Boston University, Harvard, Texas A&M and Southern Methodist University.
On May 8, the WWHSCF honored senior recipients and donors with an awards ceremony at the Lakewood Country Club. 30 scholarships from $1,000 to $10,000 were given to help with educational costs, along with $12,000 in community grants.
All scholarships honor the legacy and contributions of previous Woodrow community members.
