Foundation Success
Our annual Golf for the Future event has raised $6,721,887 for the Wisconsin Dells Education Foundation. These donations have been invested in scholarships for students that graduate from Wisconsin Dells High School.
Thanks to our generous contributors, the WDEF has awarded more than one million dollars in scholarships to graduates of Wisconsin Dells High School.
The WDEF partners with community members, families, and businesses. With their support, the foundation now has a total of $8,728,613 in assets.
This success has led the WDEF to invest in multi-year scholarships. Our department scholarships are currently awarded for the student’s first and second year of schooling. We are excited to share that our top five Academic Excellence scholarships will also be multi-year, ensuring that these students will have significant financial support through their second year of college as well. We are extremely grateful to those that partner with us to create lasting opportunities for students.
Finally, the WDEF offers the WDEF Continuing Education Scholarship. The amount of this scholarship is at least $1,000 and it is offered to graduates of Wisconsin Dells High School who are already attending a post-secondary school of higher education and show significant financial need.
