About us

How are scholarships awarded?

The scholarship award decisions are made by the Port Washington High School Scholarship Selection Committee which is comprised of twelve people, including representatives of the communities of Port Washington and Saukville. The committee follows the guidelines and criteria of each scholarship. In many cases the criteria, such as area of study, grade point average, extracurricular activities, have been established by the donor who created the scholarship.
