Last night, the WFISD Foundation proudly awarded 80 scholarships to graduating WFISD seniors, totaling an incredible $87,800 in support for their future education! 🎓✨
This marks an increase of nearly $10,000 more than last year, and we could not be more excited to continue investing in the dreams and futures of our students. These scholarships help ease the financial burden on families while empowering students to pursue their goals beyond graduation.
We were also thrilled to introduce several new scholarships this year, made possible through the generosity and continued support of our community. From attending our fundraising events to making donations throughout the year, every contribution helps create life-changing opportunities for our students.
Congratulations to all of our scholarship recipients!
