• be actively involved in student life at Garden City High School, but not limited to academic accomplishment;

• have demonstrated a willingness to participate in community service; and

• be prepared to use the scholarship to further their education.

The WPOA established its scholarship eight years ago, granting its first scholarship in 2002. Over the years, it has been a privilege to assist deserving students as they continue their education. Garden City High School seniors who reside in the Western Section are encouraged to stop by the High School Guidance Office to inquire about the 2010 WPOA scholarship.
