About Scholarships

Background

The Woodrow Wilson High School Community Foundation is the custodian of endowments intended to provide college scholarships to deserving students. These endowments are a wonderful gift to Woodrow and to the students who will benefit from the encouragement and financial support these scholarships provide.

We awarded our first four scholarships in 2011, with four students receiving $3500. As of 2024, the foundation has awarded 292 students $494,450 in scholarships.

All scholarships honor the legacy and contributions of Woodrow community members who have gone before the current graduating class. Only current Woodrow graduating seniors are eligible.

Each scholarship seeks to award a specific type of student – defined by excellence in specific high school endeavors, character, community service, leadership, and future academic and professional aspirations. Every college-going Woodrow senior with an 80% average GPA is eligible for at least one award with most students eligible for ten or more scholarships.
