Grants and Scholarships
-
The Wellington Schools actively seek grants, scholarships and awards to supplement funding provided through federal, state, and local support. Some of the awards making a difference in our schools include:
- School Quality Improvement Grants totaling $900,000 to fund programs at McCormick Middle School and at Wellington High School.
- Expanding Opportunities for Each Child Grant in the amount of $275,000 to expand the AP College Board program.
- 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant to support Boys and Girls Club after-school programming at Westwood and McCormick.
- A total of $12,463 was raised across the school district during the annual Wellington Kiwanis Peterson Nut Sale. Proceeds from the sale benefit a scholarship fund for high school seniors.
- The annual Duke Pride Carnival raises money to support our summer Well-help food vouchers program for families in need.
