Class of 2026: William Magee Borgersen Memorial Fund Scholarship
The William Magee Borgersen Memorial Fund was created to award a graduating Westwood High School student with a $5,000 scholarship to pursue a technical or trade school, culinary or art institute, certificate or vocational program, or an experiential learning program. Our family values the personal growth a traditional college can provide, but we recognize it is not for everyone and hope to see non-traditional educational paths normalized and celebrated options for high school students.
