About the WERC Scholarship Program
As one of the many ways in which we seek to further our mission, the Foundation works in cooperation with WERC-recognized Regional Relocation Groups to support a scholarship program for high school students and undergraduates. We encourage all Relocation Regional Groups to participate.
How to Apply
The Foundation Board of Trustees welcomes applications for any high school senior or undergraduate student who have moved sometime in their life, or are preparing to move for college, with the move being anywhere from another home, city, state, or country. Students are asked to either submit a 1000+ word essay or a video that meets the program's qualifications through either a WERC-recognized Regional Group or directly to the Foundation, where we ask that they share a personal story, outline lessons learned and/or give advice to fellow students about their move experience.
The student must have a 2.5 GPA or greater.
Additionally, all WERC-recognized Regional Relocation Groups will be required to sponsor the Foundation Spring Walk (a minimum of $250) to qualify.
All submissions are due 5/30/2025 by 11:59 PM PST.
