2025 Woodgrain Scholarship Recipients

Many years ago, Woodgrain established a scholarship program for the children of their employees who are enrolled in higher education. Graduating high school seniors and returning college students are eligible for this financial aid and all employees are encouraged to apply. These scholarships are available to any child of an employee who is attending an accredited two – year or four – year college, university or vocational school. Recipients are selected based on grade point average, career goals, community involvement, demonstrations of leadership and financial need. Many students have earned this scholarship for all four years of their education. Woodgrain is pleased to announce the 2025 Window Division recipients:
