Thank you very much for your past support of the Scholarship Fund. Of the thousands of Wildcats who attended Westchester, only 2% of former students have provided donations to help fund and perpetuate the Westchester education and experience. We hope to increase that percentage to 100% and provide an Endowed Scholarship fund. To provide an endowed scholarship fund requires a minimum of $100,000.00. We can use this endowment fund to then finance our scholarships through interest earned. Our current endowed fund is less than $4,000.00. If everyone who is a member on this site gave only $5 to the fund we would have $9,000 to add to this fund. If every member gave $50.00 we would meet our goal immediately. Just think what we could do if all Wildcats joined this site and donated!
YOUR gift makes a critical difference. Thanks to you and your classmates commitment, 30 students have been provided $1k scholarships since 2007. These students are receiving our vital support to help defray the cost of tuition and books. We steward these scholarships through the school finance offices to ensure the funds are spent for only those designated items.
Economically, it is a challenging time for us all and it is more important than ever for former students to support our Alma Mater. As government support continues to decline, the cost of university education increases. Westchester students need our support and the benefit of the good fortune we have been blessed with.
The Scholarship Fund is essential for filling the gaps created by these economic shortfalls. Please renew your support today. It's not how much you give but that you give - every donation makes an impact.
We thank you in advance for your support and promotion of the Wildcat Spirit.
