2020 Scholarship Recipients

Now in its 22nd year, the Golden West Scholarship program promotes educational opportunity for students within the Golden West service area. The Wall-based company has given nearly 895 scholarships since the program began. Each year, Golden West awards $1,000 scholarships to 44 graduating seniors, one for each high school in the Golden West exchanges plus one at-large scholarship.

“Golden West scholarships are awarded to students who excel in school and in the community,” says Golden West General Manager Denny Law. “We’re proud to help students further their education and become a leader of tomorrow.”
