Each year Walnut Valley Women's Club awards several college scholarships ranging in value from $500 to $1,600. The number and amount is dependent upon our fundraising success for the year. In 2023 we awarded NINE scholarships for a total of $9,250.
Thank you for supporting our scholarship projects and for your generous donations. See our list of gold and silver donors below.
Our largest and most prestigious scholarship is in honor of pioneer Walnut resident, school teacher and community activist, Madoline Westhoff.
Madoline taught fourth and fifth grades at Walnut School until she retired in 1964. During her tenure there, she organized a hot lunch program for the students. She was also one of the fourteen founding members of Walnut Valley Women's Club.
WVWC sponsors one or two local high school sophomores to attend the three to four-day HOBY State Leadership Seminar. Through interactive workshops, the students learn techniques to improve their leadership skills.
