Woodrow Wilson High School will present the Woodrow Wilson High School Community Foundation to support college education through loans, grants and scholarships. The WWHSCF college scholarship application opens Monday, Feb. 5.
This year, the foundation will distribute 30 scholarships to Woodrow Wilson High School seniors totaling $53,000.
In 2011, Woodrow awarded their first four scholarships to four students receiving $3500. Last year, they awarded 265 students $440,000 in scholarships.
Previous scholarship recipients have attended universities and colleges, including the University of Texas, Boston University, UNT, Harvard, USC, Texas A&M and SMU.
All scholarships honor the legacy and contributions of previous Woodrow community members. They must also show academic excellence, community service, leadership, and future academic and professional aspirations.
College-seeking Woodrow seniors with an 80% average GPA are eligible for at least one award, with most students eligible for ten or more scholarships.
