Scholarship Fund Challenge for 2008

Westchester Alumni Association Student Scholarship Fund for Class of 2008

Challenge Results

History:
The Class of 1972 raised almost $4,000 in scholarship money for the Class of 2007. Individuals from Classes 1968 to 1985 brought our total scholarship fund to over $7,000. We awarded $1,000 each to six students on April 9, 2007 from the Westchester graduating Class of 2007.

The challenge for Class of 2008 scholarship fundraising:
For the Class of 2008 we challenge each class (1968-1985 and 2004-2007) to raise the most scholarship monies for upcoming graduating class of 2008. Beginning April 1, 2007 through March 31, 2008 all scholarship donations will be tallied by class and individual and sponsor. Check with your employer for matching donations and double your contribution for your class.

Our goal was for each class to sponsor at least one $1,000 scholarship for a total of 22 graduating Westchester students in the Class of 2008.

For the Westchester Graduating Class of 2008 – Thanks to many generous donations – we will be awarding 8 separate $1000 scholarships.
