Scholarships

Club celebrates over $131,500 in gifts to WC Foundation

With their most recent donation, contributions from the Parker County Women's and Newcomers' Club to the Weatherford College Foundation have crossed the $115,000 mark. Established in 1975, PCWNC began its WC scholarship program in 1998. The scholarship is earmarked for female students of non-traditional age from Parker, Palo Pinto, Jack, Hook or Wise counties.

The club funds its scholarship primarily through membership dues, donations and fundraisers.

"Not only does the club provide scholarships, they also serve as mentors to their students," said Brent Baker, WC vice president of institutional advancement. "They invite the students to their monthly meetings and send them care packages during finals week and other times during the year. It's a very special relationship." 

 

Parker Country Women’s and Newcomers' Club was founded in 1975 to welcome newcomers to Weatherford and to promote social and service  projects for all Parker County women.


In 1998 the Club discussed what service project they could support with their minor means of a few hundred dollars. One member suggested a  scholarship fund. This small suggestion sparked a dream that involved helping nontraditional students such as mothers or women returning to school.


That vision is now the reality of our Weatherford College Scholarship program and our vision continues to expand. Applicants must apply through WC.


In 1999, we awarded our first $1,000 scholarship. Our scholarships can cover tuition, books, fees, and supplies to women who could otherwise only dream of expanding their education. 


Our scholarship program is supported totally through a variety of activities. Some of those activities are our Club Shop, annual Silent Auction, and Scholarship luncheon. Our members help us continue to provide dreams for our future scholarship recipients.

I am studying Radiology Technology (Radiology Tech), a two-year program at Weatherford College. I graduate this May 2025 with an Associate of Science degree. I also received my Associate of Arts at Weatherford College in 2023.


I hope to work at Cook Children’s where I can work with autistic children, and make their experience with diagnostic x-rays a better experience. In the end, I hope to be head of the education department at Cook and inspire students to not be intimidated by pediatric patients. 


This scholarship means a lot to me, truly. The scholarship has impacted not only me but my family, the people around me, and my future. I’ve always been a giver and a big believer in paying it forward. PCWNC has lifted a tremendous weight off of my supportive husband, as he pays my tuition because I do not qualify for FASFA. I am a first-generation college graduate and the scholarship is a blessing and a sign that I am following God’s plan.

Hello, I'm writing to convey my heartfelt thanks for helping me. You all have made going back to school a reality for me. I am ecstatic to learn I was chosen for this award, and I am truly grateful for all your help.

I am a 40-year-old majoring in the medical sciences, currently working on prerequisites seeking to become a nurse. The financial aid you offered will go a long way toward helping me pay for school expenditures and it will allow me to devote more time to studying. 

Thank you once again for your kindness and generosity. I am working extremely hard to give back to others in the future as a nurse. I will be graduating this December--truly only made possible because of your support. 

Thank you for all you do,

Eva Cortez
