Our Alumni Scholarship was created to recognize former students and the great things they are capable of.
The purpose of this scholarship is to annually provide a $1000 financial award to a WMS graduate who is entering their first year of post-secondary. Applicants must demonstrate academic excellence, show a commitment to community involvement, and exhibit leadership qualities.
