Scholarships
The Westminster Public Schools Foundation administers a variety of scholarships that encourage and inspire students to graduate high school and pursue their continuing educational dreams. In many cases, the scholarships make higher education accessible to students who might not otherwise dream of a college education. Scholarships are only open to students graduating from Westminster High School and Hidden Lake High School. There is a good range of awards. Some are based on merit and some on need. There are also multi-year scholarships.
A committee of board members and community volunteers select a group of students to interview for each scholarship.
The Foundation believes that providing ongoing support for scholars after they are awarded is crucial for student persistence, and graduation from college. Therefore, scholarship recipients are required to stay in touch with Scholarship Program Director for the duration of their college pursuance.
