The Foundation
The Winchester Scholarship Foundation is a voluntary non-profit organization dedicated to providing need-based financial aid to students who have graduated from Winchester High School. The Scholarship Committee composed of five Winchester residents, awards scholarships based upon unmet family financial need. Since its establishment in 1945, the WSF has been supporting students during their four college years as well as students pursuing graduate degrees. Income from endowed gifts from organizations and individuals as well as annual contributions are the principal source of funding.
Our Impact
We believe firmly that access to education ignites potential and prepares WHS graduates to affect positive change in their community and around the world. Because an investment in even one student can make a difference for generations to come, we are able — through the extraordinary generosity of Winchester individuals and organizations — to make far-reaching impact.
