Scholarship Overview

Ranger Alumni Scholarship

Scholarship Program

Overview

The Wausaukee Alumni Education Foundation works to connect Ranger Alumni and giveback to Wausaukee School. We’re excited to offer scholarships to WHS graduates to cover qualified education expenses including tuition and fees, course-related expenses such as books, supplies, and equipment.

Scholarships are funded through generous contributions from Wausaukee Alumni. The scholarship award cadence is organized to start after the first year of study and must be renewed annually. We’ve done this to: 1) encourage academic program completion, 2) spread out the award since many scholarships provide funding in year one, and 3) allow other Ranger Alumni to encourage and support the award recipients during the annual renewal meeting.

Scholarship applications are accepted each spring and are announced to WHS Seniors through the school. This page outlines the WAEF scholarship program.

Scholarship Details

Each scholarship is $750 per academic program year starting the 2nd year of each award recipient’s studies and is contingent upon completing the annual renew process (detailed below). This scholarship is only available for a maximum of 3 sequential year awards ($2,250 max).

For example, if an award recipient is entering a 4 year college program, this scholarship is payable in the fall of the award recipient’s sophomore, junior, and senior year ($2,250 total) contingent upon completing the renewal process. If an award recipient is entering a 2 year technical college program, this scholarship is payable after the student’s first year of study ($750 total), again contingent upon the student completing the renewal process.

Annual Renewable Process

Once awarded, these steps must be completed annually to receive the scholarship payout:

Program transcripts must be emailed to WAEF to demonstrate a GPA of at least 3.0
Award recipient must intend to continue the academic program
Award recipients must attend a WAEF Board summer Zoom call to present briefly on their education experience (just a conversation, no formal presentation required)
