Scholarship will be awarded on Sunday, May 22, 4 p.m.
LWV-WA members approved a 2021-2022 local League budget at last June’s Annual Meeting that included
Our first $1000 scholarship (administered through Williamsburg Community Foundation’s Scholarship Fund) to a student graduating from Jamestown, Lafayette or Warhill High School who plans to pursue studies in civics, government, politics, law, or a related area of study.
Preference will be given to a student who participates in Student Government and/or an organization like the League of Women Voters that encourages civic involvement.
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government, advocates on issues, and promotes civic education.
We anticipate awarding a scholarship annually on a rotating basis among the three high schools.
Scholarships are awarded, without discrimination, in consideration of these factors: curriculum difficulty, class rank, extra-curricular activities, application essay, and financial need. It is not necessary for a student to show financial need in order to be eligible for a WJCC Scholarship Fund scholarship.
