To commemorate our 60th anniversary in 2019, the Washington Township United Fund began awarding two annual scholarships for Washington Community High School (WCHS) graduating seniors:
The Washington Township United Fund Academic Scholarship is a one-time award of $1,500, given to a WCHS graduating senior in the top third of the graduating class whose academic performance in high school is a cumulative B average or higher. The student must be enrolled (or planning to enroll) in an academic program at Illinois Central College (ICC) that will lead either to completion of an associate’s degree or to completion of the first two years of college in preparation for transferring to a four year institution. This scholarship may be used for college-related tuition, housing, transportation, and/or books and fees.
The Washington Township United Fund Vocational Scholarship is a one-time award of $1,500, given to a WCHS graduating senior in the top half of the graduating class whose academic performance in high school is a cumulative C average or higher. The student must be enrolled (or planning to enroll) in a vocational training program or apprenticeship located in Central Illinois (may be Illinois Central College). This scholarship may be used for college-related tuition, housing, transportation, and/or books and fees.
WCHS students interested in applying for one of the Washington Township United Fund scholarships should contact the WCHS Counseling Office after January 1st of their senior year for information about the scholarship application process and submission deadline.
