Alice Walker Cooper Family Scholarship

This annual scholarship was established from the Estate of Albert M. Anderegg for students graduating from Waverly High School pursuing a post-secondary degree from an accredited institution of higher learning. This is based on merit and not financial need and there is a preference for students pursuing a field in agriculture.
