Woodland Trust Fund Pathways Scholarship

Career Pathways Scholarship Fund

The Woodland Trust Fund Scholarship, currently known as the Woodland Public Schools Career Pathways Scholarship Fund, is an annual scholarship program providing scholarships to graduating seniors seeking further education after graduation, including universities, community colleges, vocational schools, and trade schools.

Don Fluke, a former Woodland Public Schools superintendent, established the Woodland High School Scholarship Trust Fund in 1986 to provide students not receiving substantial scholarships from other sources with an avenue to receive assistance to further their education. 

The amount provided by scholarships has varied from year to year. We currently have about $41,500 in the trust fund for scholarships. $2,500 of that has been committed and outstanding over the last two years. 

Executive Director Brown is comfortable spending up to $7,500 on scholarships this year. In the last year, it has earned approximately $1,000 in interest. There was one anonymous donation of $500 and employee donations of $200 monthly.
The board will discuss how to structure Trust-Fund scholarships this year.
