Scholarship Criteria

One-year scholarships to students graduating from Waterloo East High School who will be attending an accredited university, junior college, or trade school within the state of Iowa, and who demonstrate the abilities and strong desire required to successfully complete the requirements of the institution chosen. Priority will be given to students of color, with an emphasis on African-American students.

Give to the Fund

Financial gifts to the Walter Thomas and Carline Bradford Phillips East High Hall of Fame Fund with the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa allows the Community Foundation to award financial assistance to students pursuing higher education. As the cost of tuition continues to rise, it is more important now than ever to diminish the barrier of affordability and allow students to focus on what is most important - their education.
