BURSARY FUND

We believe that all children who wish to attend our school should be able to.

WMS offers bursaries up to 50% of annual tuition to families who otherwise could not attend.
Each year, families, community members, businesses, alumni, and our parent associations donate to our Bursary Fund to ensure that all who apply are able to attend. These combined groups contributed approximately $35,000 annually to support children and families.

Our Alumni Scholarship was created to recognize former students and the great things they are capable of.

The Coral and Zachary Johnson family scholarship was established in 2018 to give back. Coral and Zack Johnson attended and benefitted from their time in WMS and, along with their parents, wished to give back. This scholarship is awarded to a deserving student who demonstrates the characteristics of hard work, enthusiasm, good citizenship, a clear love for learning and giving back to others. The award covers tuition, busing, and hot lunches for one school year for one student.
