Alumni Foundation Scholarships

Our scholarships are funded through the generous donations of our alumni and community friends as well as with the sales of merchandise at WHS events and reunions.

Scholarships are only available to graduating seniors of Washington High School. While the amount varies from year to year depending on applications and fundraising, the Alumni Foundation is proud to have awarded 16 scholarships to graduates of the Class of 2024 totaling $11,000.

Scholarship awards are announced in the Spring at the Senior Awards Night Ceremony. The Foundation then coordinates with awardees to distribute funds at a later time.
