GRANTS
One way BRIDGE invests the proceeds from donations and fundraisers is by monetarily supporting WCHS's faculty and WCHS/high-school-aged students in the community. BRIDGE provides grants that bring great ideas and plans to life.
- Faculty grants fund innovative classroom and out-of-classroom projects that go beyond what a district's departmental budget provides. These projects provide enriching educational opportunities and experiences to many students across all levels of academic performance.
- Student grants can help students prepare for life beyond high school (i.e. tools needed to start a career in the trades, apprentice program fees/college application fees, entrepreneurship, etc...).
Funding for all grants are made possible by monetary donations made to BRIDGE, and by the proceeds from our fundraisers (Paint The Path, Fall Spirit wear, Trivia Night). Types of grants and monetary amounts are allocated during the summer of the upcoming school year. Faculty/staff and students should check this webpage to find what grant(s) is available as well as the application open/close dates and eligibility. To make a donation, visit our donation page.
