NAMED
ENDOWMENTS
& GRANTS ADMINISTERED BY THE WOODBURY
SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Each endowment’s balance determines the amount of the award. In some
cases awards may not be given every year.
In addition to these endowment and grant scholarships, a
number of awards are given each year from Woodbury Scholarship Fund
(WSF) general funds which are obtained through community fund raising.
Generally, the WSF makes awards based on scholarship, school
