The Gift of Scholarship

April 16, 2026 — WHSAA Scholarship Fundraiser

Since 1998, the Weequahic High School Alumni Association has paid out over a million dollars for college scholarships, mostly from our generous alumni. Every year it awards scholarships to graduating Weequahic students, and continues to provide support for students in their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years in college.

The WHSAA scholarship funds were established in honor or in memory of Weequahic graduating classes, faculty, and alumni. To pay for tickets, an ad, or a sponsorship by debit/credit card, please use the PayPal link below (you do not need a PayPal account).

Your donation can be made to the General Scholarship Fund or to any of the named funds listed below by writing the name of the fund in the Note area. We sincerely thank you for your contribution and appreciate your generosity.
