Wasatch Education Foundation partners with our community to fund scholarships, teacher awards, student food programs, and more—raising $1M+ annually to support Wasatch County School District students and staff. ❤️📚 The Wasatch Education Foundation (WEF) was re-established in July 2019 as an arm of the Wasatch County School District to ensure its efforts aligned closely with the Dist
rict’s Mission and Vision. With a refreshed mission—“Engaging community and corporate partners in providing supplemental resources to the Wasatch County School District to improve educational outcomes”—the Foundation has expanded its impact across a range of programs. WEF funds and administers the Wasatch High School scholarship program, awarding over $500,000 in scholarships each year to nearly 300 graduating seniors, including 43 We Rise students attending seven Utah universities with scholarships ranging from $2,500 to $8,000 annually and dedicated mentoring throughout college. Additional initiatives include the Distinguished Educator program, providing nine exceptional teachers with $10,000 each; student food security programs like elementary and middle school backpacks and a high school food pantry; and administrative and fiscal support for the Wasatch Parent Network (WPN), which joined WEF in 2020. The Foundation also offers a no-cost fundraising platform for WPN, athletics, and activities, helping raise over $1,000,000 annually—all reinvested into Wasatch County students and staff.
