Scholarship Drive Information - 2025

This year marks the 59th anniversary of the Waunakee Scholarship Fund! Since its inception in 1966, the fund has awarded $1,449,599 in scholarships to 6,336 students pursuing higher education following graduation. Last year alone, $54,725 in scholarships was awarded. This has been possible only because of the generosity of our wonderful community. 

As the community grows, so does our student population and the need for ongoing support of those students. The 2025 Waunakee High School graduating class is 350 students. It is anticipated that 85-90% of these students will attend a post-secondary education institution.

On Wednesday, April 23, the WHS Senior Class participants will canvass the Waunakee Community to raise scholarship money. All money collected is EQUALLY distributed to seniors who apply for this scholarship and participate in the Fund Drive. Donations can also be made online through the District's fundraising site, Classmunity, or checks can be sent and payable to: Waunakee Scholarship Fund and mailed to: Waunakee Scholarship Fund, 301 Community Drive, Waunakee WI 53597. Our goal this year is to raise $55,000.

All money collected is EQUALLY distributed to seniors who apply for this scholarship AND participate in the Fund Drive. Checks are made payable to the college/university that the student plans to attend. Any questions can be directed to waunakeescholarship@gmail.com.

Thank you for your investment in our youth and in our community.
