The main purpose of the Wakefield High School Education Foundation, Inc. is to provide scholarships to graduating Wakefield seniors. Established in 1986, the Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. We are proud that, to date, we have been able to help 650 Wakefield graduates attend college. Since the creation of the Foundation in 1986, we have given a total of $4.75 million in scholarships and teacher grants. All of those funds were raised through contributions and interest income.
Each spring a selection committee consisting of alumni from various Wakefield classes and current and retired staff members review the scholarship applications and select award winners. In addition, the Foundation maintains a database of Wakefield graduates and friends of Wakefield to assist reunion organizers and to connect the Warrior Nation. And the Foundation preserves the history of Wakefield though an archive.
