HISTORY
The Westwood High Alumni Scholarship Fund was started by the Class of 1971 Reunion Committee in Fall, 2003. In January, 2006 the remaining funds were turned over to the newly formed Westwood High Alumni Association, providing seed money for the Westwood High Alumni Scholarship Fund.
PURPOSE
The purpose of theWestwood High Alumni Scholarship Fund is to award scholarships annually to one or more graduating seniors from Westwood High School who are going on to further education. We target those students who have struggled and overcome tremendous odds to graduate and for whom this scholarship can make a great difference.
The Westwood High Alumni Association works with the Guidance Department at Westwood High School to find just the right student to be the recipient of our scholarship. In 2006, we were pleased to be presenting two scholarships in the amount of $500 each thanks to the generous support of alumni. Our hope is that we can offer even more or larger scholarships each year.
If your class would like to start a designated scholarship fund in honor of your class, or make a one time scholarship presentation, we can help. With our nonprofit status, donors to your fund would be able to deduct any donations made and we could work with your class and the guidance office at WHS to make this scholarship a reality.
