Scholarships Overview

Notice: All scholarship funds through the WYCF are endowment based. Due to the economic downturn and its subsequent impact to our investments, the market value of some of our scholarship funds did not have sufficient earnings to allow for scholarship grants for the 2010 fiscal year. Out of WYCF’s 25 active scholarships, we are suspending 17 for 2010 distributions. The links to apply for these 17 scholarships have been disabled and are marked in red. The WYCF apologizes for the inconvenience.
