Congratulations to our 2025 WEC Scholarship winners!

Congratulations to Westerville Education Challenge’s 2025 Westerville high school scholarship winners!

Through the support of our generous sponsors, WEC offers three $500 scholarships each year. We award one each to graduating seniors at Westerville Central, North and South high schools.

One scholarship is presented at the spring Evening of Excellence celebrations at each Westerville high school, to a student who is a graduating senior and has been accepted to a two- or four-year accredited college, university, technical school or military academy.

Our 2005 WEC Scholarship winners are:

• Westerville Central graduating senior Olivia Stevens. Stevens will attend the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where she also has committed to play tennis.
• Westerville North graduating senior Rose Yancey. Yancey will attend Wittenberg University in Springfield, where she also has committed to play golf.
• Westerville South graduating senior Ella Hansan. Hansan will attend Ohio University in Athens.

Our congratulations to these fine, soon-to-be Westerville high school graduates!
