Overview

Westonka District #277 Foundation: bringing ideas to life by awarding over $174,000 in grants to programs, retreats, and projects in the Westonka Schools as well as over $497,215 in scholarships. Based on the philosophy that we believe an excellent education provides inspiration for lifelong learning and is the richest heritage we can give our children, Westonka District #277 Foundation is dedicated to its mission of enhancing student opportunities in Westonka Schools.

The Foundation began in 1995 with the purpose of providing funding for learning experiences and projects that did not receive funding from the general school district budget. The Foundation also administers and awards scholarships through designated funds from generous community members and Mound Westonka alumni. 

We have two main funding programs: 1) Community & Classroom Grants - given out in the Fall of each school year, applications will be due on September 29, 2023 with decisions being made by Oct. 30, 2023; and 2) Scholarships for Graduating Mound Westonka Seniors - given out in the Spring of each school year. Please navigate to the matching section in the page bar to the left if interested in learning more. 

Scholarship Applications (from students) will be due in early 2024  and Scholarship Recommendations (from teachers/staff/community members) will likely be due in February 2024.
