The purpose of the Wakefield Education Foundation is to provide scholarships to graduating Wakefield seniors. Established in 1986, the Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization. Currently, the Foundation has awarded 179 scholarships and has committed or paid out $828,500.00 to Wakefield students! All of those funds were raised through contributions and interest income.

Volunteers do all of the work of the foundation and the only expenses are postage and printing. Because of this, the Foundation has historically been able to give over 107% of funds donated in scholarships.

Each spring a selection committee consisting of alumni from various Wakefield classes and current staff members review the scholarship applications and select award winners.

In addition, the Foundation maintains a database of Wakefield graduates and friends of Wakefield. The data is available to reunion committees.
