Congratulations to the 2024 WACOPS Youth Scholars!
Another scholarship season has come to a close and we are excited to announce this year's WACOPS youth scholarship award recipients. The Awards & Scholarship Committee completed a blind review process of all 43 submissions - with students representing over 20 WACOPS member organizations from across the state. Learning about your children is something the committee looks forward to every year and it is by no means easy to narrow down the top 15. We see how hard the students work to achieve success in their studies, communities, extra-curricular activities, and personal development. Each of the 15 award recipients will receive a $1,000 scholarship to their selected university. Help us congratulate the 2024 WACOPS scholars!
