Since 1974, the Community Scholarship Fund mission has been to reward our young people who succeeded in academics, extra curricular activities and community service. Due to your support last year, we were able to award nine - $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors! You can imagine how welcome these scholarships are to local families as they send their child to college in a world of skyrocketing tuition costs and uncertain economy.

We need your financial support to continue delivering our mission to future Whitmore Lake High School graduates as they set out to further their education. Our goal for 2013 is to increase the number of $1000 scholarships. You can help us accomplish this goal and show our graduates that their hometown community is behind them by making a donation today. Every dollar donated goes directly to scholarships. Your name or business will be listed in the program given out at WLHS Senior Awards Night in May when our scholarships are awarded.

We welcome donations of all sizes as even the smallest donations make a big difference. You may designate your donation to honor Larry Steeb, Lynne Michaels Dungan, Sue Johnson, or Sue Washburn, if you wish. You may also consider funding a full scholarship (minimum $1,000), which you can name after your business or a loved one, and participate in the awards ceremony. While being part of the ceremony is not required, it is a rewarding experience to shake a recipient’s hand and present his/her scholarship. The proud smiles of our students, their parents and families warm the heart and make our work worthwhile.

If you personally or your business would like to help some of Whitmore Lake’s deserving young people, please send your contribution, however large or small, made out to:
