Funding for the Webster Scholarship comes from an endowment established by the late Charles N. Webster, whose family founded the KONP radio station and the newspaper that is now known as the Peninsula Daily News. Award amounts are dependent upon the student’s enrollment level. Students can receive up to $4,500 for an academic year. The courses students must take are identified below. Students must be enrolled in at least 5 credits to be eligible for the scholarship. If the scholarship isn’t used one quarter, the student will lose it for the rest of the year – with the exception of absence due to military service.
The application is now open for the 2024-25 school year, and closes April 26, 2025.
A new application is required each school year.
