Grants and Scholarships

Students at Mock Trial

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.
