Since 1993 the Washington Counties Scholarship Fund has awarded over $310,000 to eligible students, and this is only possible due to the generosity of WACO members. The Washington Counties Scholarship Fund provides multiple scholarships annually to eligible children of county employees and county elected officials (assessors, auditors, clerks, coroners, medical examiners, prosecutors, sheriffs, and treasurers), and in order to continue we need your support.
Donate directly to the Washington Counties Scholarship Fund through our Venmo account. Every dollar enables us to continue this valuable scholarship fund that helps the children of local counties pursue further education.
