Watertown High School’s scholarship program Monday evening carried a hefty price tag. Not for the school district or the students, but the donors who endowed the funding for many of the area’s best to continue their academic studies.
$723,145 was announced at Monday evening’s ceremony, split among 76 graduating WHS seniors. Those receiving the funding have a wide range of future plans, including four-year universities, trade schools, and more.
In addition to the local scholarship money received by the students, many also received financial aid or scholarship packages from the universities or colleges they will be attending, increasing the total aid.
